what is the cable type, I have existing RG 6 from the antenna to the first floor where the booster would be installed.

RG-6 is 72 0hm coax, the booster input & output impeadance is 52 ohm, I use Belden 9913 low loss cable to the outdoor antenna & RG-58A/U to the indoor antenna. Both Cables are 52 ohm, the connectors on the booster are type N which would be very hard to use the TV foil shielded coax with.Box works very good with correct antennas & coax. Drew

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

no, but if your old rg 59 fitting needs replacing for any reason you can't use rg-6 fittings on the rg-59 cable. go to radio shack and pick them up. I have a 1990 airstream with the old size cable. It worked fine but my fitting was messed up. Also you will have to change the booster inside the trailer. It's tuned to the old antenna and it will need to be replaced with the new one.

The power adapter comes with it, A "Coaxial cable [with] F-type connector" does not. So expect to order with this unit 2 extra Coaxial cables with no splitter configuration: One for the Power adapter to the Booster. One R6 version for the Booster to your Cable modem. I'm so happy the manufacture saved a buck leave a power connection out!

The Antenna I purchased came with the amplifier. Check and see what the model you are looking at states as some do not come with the booster.

This has an N connector on it. This is LMR-400 cable. This is used for radio equipment and cellular boosters. 5C-2V cable appears to be RG-6 cabling. I use Belden 7916 RG-6 quad shield w/ compression F connectors on the end.

I am not sure. This is just a USB extension cable to extend the length of your current USB cable. if the combination of this cable and your current cable hooked together measure 16 foot or longer, I would get an extension cable with a booster built inline.

Yep.. This is the one I bought and it works fine. I do recommend a newer antenna to attach to this cable as it seems a little lossy but it works fine with an antenna with good gain.

I was told that those antennas weren't very good by the people at Solid Signal. In any case, I'm in a fringe area and have an antenna designed to pull in signals from 60-70 miles. The Motorola Booster will only amplify what it gets from the antenna. There are times when I have 100% signal strength and there are times when most channels disappear completely. A mast mounted pre-amp may help with signal strength to the booster. The booster is really meant to feed into a splitter to distribute a signal to multiple sets. It can't create what isn't there. Mine is in my attic and feeds four rooms. When there is signal from the antenna, it works fine. I bought a pre-amp for the antenna but haven't installed it as yet.

Hi, Vilma,There's 2 type of cable that any company normally install is the rg6,(is like 8mm wide) some houses has RG59 (is like 5 mm wide) both of then work with satellite, best one is the RG6, (up to 120feet) and the RG59 (80feet) so if your home is less than 80 feet one side to the other, you're fine. it will work. Thanks Peter

- Wilson 400 cable is a 50 ohm cable and is not designed to work with the 460101 system. If the directional antenna you purchased has a Type N connector then that antenna is a 50 ohm antenna as well, and is not designed to work as an outdoor antenna with this system.. RG6, 75 ohm, cable is the only approved cable.. Just use good quality RG6 and you should be fine, but use an outside antenna with a Type F connector. If you cable run from inside to outside is excessively long, I believe RG11 would be a more appropriate cable, but I would stay with RG6 unless you are over 100 ft plus. Unless you are using a different Wilson system that what you commented on...Some did use 50 ohm cable in and out..

Remember, we're working with radio waves being sent through the atmosphere, and pretty much line-of-sight from a cell tower. The signal amplifier (the booster) is amplifying the signal intercepted by the antenna and sends it to the pad where the phone is to be placed. You'll have to trust L. P.'s experience working in a basement. If it works for him, it should work for you. The antenna must be outside, and as high up as you can reach with your cable for maximum effect.

The antenna has the coax adapter on it. If you need to go to one TV only, just hook to the antenna and then to the back of the TV with coax cable. If you need to go to two or more TV's a splitter will be required, and possibly a booster or amplifier depending on how strong your signal is. The more you split, the more signal you loose. The booster would go in line on the coax before the splitter and need 120v supply as well. They also have them that would send power to the antenna and wire in pretty much the same way. RG-6 is the best coax to use, and with a $20 tool, you can make the lengths you need yourself pretty cheap. If you go this route, make sure to use the compression type F connectors and keep your lengths as short as possible. Also I must mention that ANY antenna you install needs to be grounded properly as it is going to be a large lightning rod on your roof. If the rod you use to mount the antenna doesn't go all the way to the ground, you MUST run a heavy copper wire from the pole to ground. Hope this answers your question.

You Need A 2.4 Signal Booster High Gain Antenna. The Antenna is Fitting The Receiver.

No. It's designed to work with a booster. Be sure you order the correct booster for your provider and system configuration. It's easy to order the wrong one. (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc...and 3G, 4G, LTE, etc. ) it's got to match what you are receiving. As long as the antenna is outside and your interior antenna is in the basement it should work. I would recommend getting a directional antenna for outside and a good booster, coupled with their Dual Band wall mount antenna. That's what I have and it takes my 1/2 bar AT&T; up to 4 bars 4G LTE in my office.

I mounted the booster midline, adding a couple of coax fittings. I had a long run and signal was satisfactory at the beginning but faded after several splits. This boosted the signal for the rest of the run. You can add the booster just after the antenna as it would boost the existing signal. This unit does not look weatherproof. It would need to be near a power outlet and protected from the weather.

Yes, the signal loss is less than that of RG6 or RG59. This is the same cable that my CATV installer used for a 250' run to my house.
