Closest match to Virgin broadband cabling.
After doing a little research into the best cable for relocating a Virgin router, I found this product being recommended on a few forums.I used 15 metres to relocate the router from an awkward position in the lounge to the under-stairs cupboard. This involved feeding the cable up and over, through floorboard voids and down into the staircase.The cable structure is really good, 2 separate foil insulators as well as braiding. The internal copper core is sturdy and as thick as the original Virgin cable. Overall, this product is the closest spec match to the cabling used by Virgin.Really happy to report that the router relocation was a success, with no loss in signal quality.

Cured my poor Freeview signal issue.
I recently started suffering with Freeview signal problems and went from around 80 channels to about 20. My ariel had not moved and the only weak spot in my setup was the cable installed on 1995 when my house was built. The coax cable running from my ariel socket to inside the loft was a very cheap and nasty unshielded one. It also used to suffer signal interruptions when my neighbour cut his lawn with his petrol mower. I purchased this cable and pulled it through the wall cavity using the old cable and wired it up. I re-tuned my TV and went from around 20 channels back up to around 70! Didn't know a coax cable could make such a difference. Appears very good quality.

Quality cable.
Looks a good quality product. Opened package and removed some of the outer shearing. Good quality close knit copper braiding over a copper foil shield. Not used yet, but will report further on signal quality when Covid 19 restrictions are lifted. Then satellite dish can be refitted after building work completed.

Totally amazed at the improvement of my digital tv signal
I bought the HD100 cable to try and improve my digital reception. Before, I was using a standard RG6 co-ax cable which went to a signal splitter which provided a signal to two tv's, but the signal I was only 50-55% according to the channel info, some channels the picture would appear blocky, sometimes freeze or not display at all. I finally gave in and deided to find some better shielded cable, the HD100 cable has really improved my reception.I would highly recommend paying the extra money for the HD100 cable if you have similar signal loss/interference, yes it costs more than the RG6/WF100 versions, but it really provides better shielding against interference or signal loss over longer cable run distances so its a worthy investment if you can afford it. I now receive 92-96% reception on both tv's which is a massive improvement compared to the standard cable I used before giving me back 40% of the signal I was losing. The last 4-8% loss is due to the very large length of my cable run from the receiver to both tv's as the receiver is at the back of the house but both tv's are at the front of the house.

quality cable
you can buy cheaper by a few pounds but cable is rubbish, this one is good quality, easy to strip, and the braid will provide good signal screening, this is why its always better to pay a little more and get a quality product in my opinion.

Quality cable
It is quality double screened cable. I used it to replace the ageing brown RG6 cable from the loft aerial to the set top box. Works great and I have less signal drops. TV reports the signal quality has increased from 60% to 70%.

Good quality
Just as good as Webro and a bit cheaper. All shielding is of copper, so it's not the usual cheaper stuff which uses aluminium shielding. I have done a whole house in this, and it's great for cable, satellite and terrestrial.
