3 Ghz Coax Required

[az99]

Why is 3 GHZ coax required with the Hopper? What happens if you use standard coax? I have a long run to the dish and would hate to have to replace it . I doubt I could pull new thru the existing conduit. How much more expensive is it than regular RG6?

Thanx

Unless you put the node at the dish you will need 2 RG6 to the house, possibly 3 if you have 2 Hoppers.

All RG6 works at 3 GHZ, the 3GHZ marking just indicates it was sweep tested for any defects at that frequency.
