I want to run a new RG6 cable to the roof to connect to an outdoor antenna to receive HDTV, UHF, VHF, FM. I want this to be future compatible with DSS if I choice to switch.I have heard that the Belden 1694A is a good performing cable. However, I am concerned that it isn't a quad-shield. How important is the shielding? Are there any other recommendations for a good quality cable?
What type of F-connectors are good? Should I go with a crimped or screw on version? I don't mind investing in a decent crimp tool, but I don't want to spend $80 either. Any advice on whose connectors and crimp tools to use?
Follow Ups:
I use RG6U quad-shield from RadioShack. I don't know who they OEM it from but it appears to be a very well made cable. I also use the crimp on type F connectors and the crimping tool from RatShack. The tool wasn't that expensive. I should warn you though that you must get the crimp on style connectors made for quad-shield (a little larger diameter) and still, it's a bit of a chore getting them on properly. Anyway, that's what I'm using for my outdoor FM antenna and a separate run to my outdoor $22 Radio Shack UHF antenna for HDTV.
