I'm doing a new install of DirecTV to a few rooms in my house. It's a two-story floor plan that has one common wall (aside from the four exterior walls) that runs from the basement to the attic crawl space. That single common wall has one possible stud cavity to pull in due to stairwells, bathtubs, etc. causing problems in each other cavity. My major concern with this is that stud cavity runs right behind my over-the-stove microwave in my kitchen.
What are the odds that a microwave will interfere with the signal running through my RG6? There's a layer of drywall between the cavity and the microwave but I don't know how well drywall absorbs any possible interference... I'd assume not well at all.
I have tri-shielded RG6 with a solid copper core that claims to have 77% braid coverage that I was planning on using for my runs. From what I can tell, that's fairly standard for tri-shield RG6 and nothing stellar (maybe it is?). Do I need better coax? I was really hoping I could stay away from having to attempt this install with the ever-so-expensive Belden 1694a that has the highest braid coverage I could find.
Thanks!
