Why Is a Solid Copper Conductor Important?
The centre conductor carries the television signal. In satellite installations, it also carries the supply voltage required by the LNB.
The Cavel DG113 uses a solid copper (Cu) centre conductor. Compared with copper-clad steel (CCS), solid copper has lower electrical DC resistance.
Your benefit: Particularly with longer cable runs, low conductor resistance helps ensure reliable power delivery to connected satellite components.

| Manufacturer / Model | Cavel DG113 |
| Sales Unit | Sold by the metre, 1 unit = 1 metre |
| Centre Conductor The central copper wire carries the signal. Solid copper offers better electrical conductivity than copper-clad steel. | 1.13 ± 0.02mm solid copper (Cu) |
| Dielectric The insulating layer between the centre conductor and the shielding. It influences the electrical properties of the cable. | 4.80mm physically foamed polyethylene (PE) |
| Shielding Metallic protective layers reduce external electromagnetic interference. | Aluminium composite foil and tinned copper braid |
| Braid Coverage Indicates the percentage of the cable surface covered by the metal braid. Overall shielding also depends on the foil layer. | 72% |
| Screening Class Class A+ indicates high screening effectiveness against external interference. | A+ |
| Characteristic Impedance 75 Ohms is the standard impedance commonly used for satellite and television coaxial cables. | 75 ± 3 Ohms at 200 MHz |
| Capacitance The electrical capacitance between the inner and outer conductors per metre of cable. | 52 ± 2 pF/m |
| Inner Conductor Resistance Low DC resistance is beneficial for longer cable runs and for powering satellite components. | 18 Ohms/km |
| Outer Diameter | 6.60 ± 0.10mm |
| Outer Jacket | White, lead-free PVC |
| Fire Classification Eca is a European reaction-to-fire classification. It does not mean the cable is fireproof. | Eca according to EN 50575 |
| Application | Indoor installation |
| Country of Origin | Made in Italy |
How Much Signal Does the Cable Lose?
Attenuation describes how much signal strength is lost as it travels through the cable. The lower the value in dB, the less signal is lost.
| Frequency | 10 Metres* | 100 Metres |
|---|---|---|
| 200 MHz | 0.80 dB | 8.0 dB |
| 470 MHz | 1.24 dB | 12.4 dB |
| 1000 MHz | 1.85 dB | 18.5 dB |
| 1750 MHz | 2.49 dB | 24.9 dB |
| 2150 MHz | 2.79 dB | 27.9 dB |
| 2400 MHz | 2.96 dB | 29.6 dB |
| 3000 MHz | 3.34 dB | 33.4 dB |
Manufacturer specifications at 20°C. *The 10-metre values are calculated from the 100-metre figures. Connectors and splitters may cause additional signal loss.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I order my required cable length?
Select the desired quantity. For example, a quantity of 15 means you will receive 15 metres of cable.
Will I receive the cable in one continuous length?
Where possible, your order will be supplied as one continuous length. If this is not possible, any division into separate lengths should be agreed with you before dispatch.
Does the cable come with F-connectors already fitted?
No. This is unterminated coaxial cable without fitted connectors. Suitable F-connectors are available separately.
Is the Cavel DG113 made from genuine solid copper?
Yes. The centre conductor is made from solid copper with a diameter of 1.13mm. It is not copper-clad steel.
Is the cable suitable for 4K and 8K television?
Yes. The cable can be used in suitable digital reception systems. The actual picture resolution depends on the broadcast signal and connected equipment.
Which F-connectors fit the Cavel DG113?
The cable has an outer diameter of 6.6mm. Suitable connectors must match its dimensions. The manufacturer lists F-compression connectors from the FC703 series among the compatible options.
Can I use the cable for longer satellite connections?
Yes, provided the available signal level and the other system components are suitable. At 2150 MHz, cable attenuation is approximately 5.58 dB over 20 metres and 13.95 dB over 50 metres.
What is the difference between attenuation and screening?
Attenuation describes the loss of useful signal along the cable. Screening describes how effectively the cable is protected against external electromagnetic interference.
Can I install this cable outdoors?
The DG113 is designed for indoor installation. For permanently exposed outdoor use, choose a cable specifically approved for outdoor conditions.
