well it should, but no technical info about it.

If you looked around more, u shall find much better deals from trusty online shops. unfortunately, *********, our sponsor, doesn't carry any cable stocks.

May be he see this post and can help you out.

Probably poor quality for that price ,do you need 100m?

I need 2x 22m to get from my dish to the Vu+ box, as I have a quad LMB I figured get the extra for when I setup other receivers

I bought the twin low profile coax cable sky use from a chap at the market. I have not tested it yet though as I'm expecting delivery of my VU+ duo tomorrow. Remember though you need special f plug connectors and wall mounting clips too.

shotgun f plugs are smaller diameter screw-fix about £1 for 10

The Sky 'Shotgun' cable will work ok but it's not really the best quality cable, it's ok for a fixed dish setup but not really what you'd want to be using on a motorised system, so yes you'll get away with it, but maybe think about something a bit better quality. The cable we supply with our dish packs is RG6 which is the minimum I'd suggest for a motorised system. We only supply this with the dish packs and satellite dishes we sell, not as a seperate item, but if you are telling me there maybe a call for it then I'd be happy to add it to our range. :)

I hate sky shotgun cable, such a thin poor quality product. RG6 as sat store says, double shielded.

I'm going to be using it for a fixed dish setup. If I run into signal type problems I'll now know where to start looking.
