My kitchen TV is mounted on a wall bracket and sited over the end of a
peninsula unit.
Pivot it one way when working in the kitchen end, the other when sitting
down to eat, etc.
Made a sort of loom to it to keep things neat. Mains, HDMI, UHF,
Satellite, and audio out. Which is rather inflexible. The main culprits
being the UHF and satellite RF cables.
They are about 1.2m long. So not a stock length. Is there a flexible cable
I could use and fit plugs to myself - to get an exact length? Would that
length of flexible UHF (with adaptors to F plugs each end) zap the
satellite signal?
I've got a drum of very flexible video co-ax. Would the losses through
that be too high?

Not very flexible though.

Not for a length of 1.2m. You'd lose much less than 2dB on satellite
> that be too high?
assuming the cable is 75 ohm. Small amounts of signal loss don't matter
for satellite because the signal is amped up 20 or 30dB more than
necessary by the LNB.
Loss at UHF would be utterly negligee.

In article <jf4ltj...@mid.individual.net>,
Thanks, Bill. Worth a punt making up some from it, then. I've not looked,
but are there solder F plugs (not using the centre cable conductor as the
pin)? I'd like to use F plugs for both sat and UHF - as the Belling Lee
can get pulled out of the wall socket. TV end is OK as the loom is secured
to the TV.

Don't know of any suitable f types that you can fit on your own cable

that have a centre pin. There's various adaptors however.
Could you use an f connector flylead?
https://cpc.farnell.com/vdc/110-127/ct100-satellite-cable-10m/dp/AV04129?st=satellite%20lead
for example, but go to CPC Farnell and type in satellite lead.
