Nothing is special about Ku as far as the coax cable goes, it uses the same 950-1450 Mhz signal and 18V power. It just has two coaxes, one for C-band, one for Ku. I on't know the composition of the 5 leg cable you are looking at, but the stuff I have has the actuator power leads (#14 AWG at that), separate from the actuator feedback. the 4 leg cable has the actuator supply and feedback in the same cable, and usally a #18 AWG wire for power. ------------------------ Yahoo!
