English Cavel DG113 A+ Satellite Cable with Cabelcon True Drop F Connectors
Premium satellite connection cable with a genuine solid copper conductor – professionally assembled by Ariasat and ready to connect.
Need a reliable cable to connect your satellite receiver, TV or satellite installation without fitting F connectors yourself? This ready-made cable offers a convenient, high-quality solution.
We use original Cavel DG113 coaxial cable, manufactured in Italy, with a solid 1.13 mm copper centre conductor. Both ends are fitted with genuine Cabelcon F-6-TD 5.1 True Drop compression connectors.
The result is a ready-to-use satellite cable with secure connections, excellent shielding and low signal loss – suitable for modern digital satellite reception systems.

Cabelcon True Drop – professional F connectors for reliable connections
A good satellite cable also needs high-quality connectors. That is why we use Cabelcon F-6-TD 5.1 True Drop compression connectors instead of basic twist-on F connectors.
During installation, a dedicated compression tool secures the connector firmly to the cable, creating a stable mechanical connection and reliable electrical contact.
What makes True Drop special?
- Optimised thread entry: Helps the connector engage more easily with the F socket.
- Improved coupling nut: Makes tightening by hand easier.
- Optimised contact surface: Supports a reliable ground connection to the F socket.
- Reduced contact issues: Designed to minimise problems caused by poor electrical contact.
- Excellent connector shielding: More than 120 dB shielding attenuation at 30–1000 MHz.
- IPX8-tested design: Tested with a 30-metre water column for 8 hours.
- NITIN coating: Provides corrosion protection.
Why choose a solid copper satellite cable?
The centre conductor carries the reception signal and, in satellite installations, also supplies power to the LNB.
The Cavel DG113 uses a 1.13 mm solid copper conductor rather than copper-clad steel (CCS).
Solid copper has better electrical conductivity and lower DC resistance than CCS.
Your benefit: Especially over longer cable runs, the lower resistance helps maintain a reliable power supply to connected satellite components.
Cavel DG113 – technical specifications
Tap or click the blue ⓘ symbol for a simple explanation of technical terms.
| Cable manufacturer / model | Cavel DG113 |
| Cable length | As selected |
| Centre conductor The conductor inside the cable carries the signal and, in satellite installations, also supplies power to the LNB. | 1.13 ± 0.02 mm solid copper (Cu) |
| Dielectric The insulating layer between the centre conductor and shielding. It affects the cable's electrical performance. | 4.80 mm, physically foamed PE |
| Shielding Metallic layers protect the signal against external electromagnetic interference. | Double shielding: aluminium composite foil and tinned copper braid |
| Braid coverage The percentage of the cable surface covered by the metal braid. The foil also contributes to overall shielding. | 72% |
| Shielding class Class A+ indicates a high level of protection against external electromagnetic interference. | A+ |
| Characteristic impedance 75 ohms is the standard impedance used for satellite and television coaxial connections. | 75 ± 3 ohms at 200 MHz |
| Capacitance Electrical capacitance between the centre conductor and shielding per metre of cable. | 52 ± 2 pF/m |
| Outer diameter | 6.60 ± 0.10 mm |
| Outer jacket | White, lead-free PVC |
| Reaction-to-fire class Eca is a European reaction-to-fire classification under EN 50575. It does not mean the cable is fireproof. | Eca according to EN 50575 |
| Minimum bending radius | 35 mm single bend / 70 mm repeated bending |
| Operating temperature | -20 °C to +70 °C |

Cabelcon True Drop F connectors – technical specifications
The following values apply to the Cabelcon F-6-TD 5.1 connector model, not to the measured shielding performance of the complete cable assembly.
| Manufacturer / model | Cabelcon F-6-TD 5.1 True Drop |
| Connector type | Straight F-type compression connector |
| Installation | Professional compression fitting |
| Impedance | 75 ohms |
| Frequency range | Up to 3000 MHz (3 GHz) |
| Shielding attenuation Indicates how effectively the connector prevents external interference. Higher dB values indicate better shielding. | > 120 dB at 30–1000 MHz |
| Transfer impedance Describes unwanted signal coupling through the shield at lower frequencies. Lower values are better. | < 2.5 mΩ/m at 5–30 MHz |
| Return loss Indicates how little signal is reflected at the connector due to impedance mismatch. Higher dB values are better. | 32 dB at 1000 MHz / 24 dB at 3000 MHz |
| Water resistance The connector was tested for water resistance under defined conditions. This does not make the entire cable suitable for permanent outdoor exposure. | IPX8, tested with 30 m water column for 8 hours |
| Surface coating NITIN is a special connector coating that helps protect against corrosion. | Corrosion-resistant NITIN coating |
| Coupling nut | HEX11 / 7/16 inch |

Signal attenuation – how much signal is lost?
Every coaxial cable loses some signal strength over its length. This is called attenuation and is measured in decibels (dB).
In general, longer cables and higher frequencies result in greater attenuation.
- 10 metres: approximately 2.79 dB cable attenuation
- 20 metres: approximately 5.58 dB cable attenuation
- 50 metres: approximately 13.95 dB cable attenuation
- 100 metres: 27.9 dB cable attenuation
Calculated from cable attenuation specifications at 20 °C. Additional losses from connectors and other components are not included.
Our advice: Choose the shortest practical cable length while allowing enough slack for neat installation without sharp bends.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Are the F connectors already installed?
Yes. Ariasat cuts the cable to the selected length and professionally fits Cabelcon True Drop compression connectors on both ends. The cable arrives ready to connect.
What is the difference between compression connectors and twist-on F connectors?
A basic twist-on connector is screwed onto the prepared cable. A compression connector is secured using a special tool, providing a strong mechanical connection and reliable electrical contact when correctly installed.
What does Cabelcon True Drop mean?
True Drop is a Cabelcon connector design featuring optimised threading, an improved coupling nut and a special contact surface for easier installation and reliable contact with the F socket.
Is the centre conductor made of real copper?
Yes. The Cavel DG113 has a 1.13 mm solid copper centre conductor, not copper-clad steel (CCS).
Can I use this cable for 4K and 8K satellite television?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible digital satellite reception systems. The available picture resolution depends on the broadcast, receiver and television.
Does the cable protect against LTE and mobile network interference?
The Cavel DG113 features Class A+ double shielding. Combined with high-quality Cabelcon connectors, it provides strong protection against electromagnetic interference when correctly installed.
Are the Cabelcon connectors waterproof?
The Cabelcon F-6-TD 5.1 True Drop meets IPX8 test requirements under specified conditions. This applies to the connector design and does not mean the complete DG113 cable is approved for permanent unprotected outdoor installation.
Can I connect this cable directly to my television?
Yes, if your television has a satellite input with an F socket. A conventional IEC aerial socket may require a suitable adapter or a different cable.
Which cable length should I order?
Measure the actual route between your devices, including corners and furniture. Allow a little extra length for installation, but avoid unnecessarily long cables and sharp bends.
What does shielding Class A+ mean?
It indicates a high level of protection against external electromagnetic interference. Shielding performance is different from signal attenuation inside the cable.
Who manufactures this ready-made cable?
The finished cable assembly is produced and marketed by Ariasat Digital Sat-Systems e.K., using genuine Cavel coaxial cable and Cabelcon compression connectors.
