The standard "C Band ribbon cable" with two coax, the motor wires, and the sensor wire, comes in 350' Spools typically so anything more than that is difficult to find or may be a custom order. If you have to splice and bury the cable you would be better off buying a 1000' roll of swept tested, direct burial coax , a 500' box of TV rotor cable-3 conductor, and a seprate motor/polarizer cable with the appropriate gauge wire combo. You can get that off the specs for the ribbon cable. Years ago they made true C band ribbon cable that had only one coax cable and they came in 500' lengths and then you would add a single coax for Ku years later. That's what I did. Don't splice the coax. The motor wires are OK to splice, the sensor wire should not be spliced either..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 5:46 AM Subject: Re: [TVRO] BUD Cable
