PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Flat RG6 cable

I’m going to give you two potential situations. First one: your satellite dish is outside and obviously your TV is inside. Second one: You want a cell booster in your RV but you aren’t comfortable drilling holes.

In a permanent installation you would drill through the wall and use approved connection points to try to make everything look good and clean. What about an RV or apartment installation? It’s really something to think about. Apartment dwellers don’t want to be fined for making unauthorized holes, and RVers might not want to pay an installer. Money is a big part of every decision.

Enter the weBoost Window Entry Cable​

That’s where our weBoost Window Entry Cable comes in. It will pass through windows and allow the window to close almost completely yet it gives you full antenna or satellite signal. That’s how it is designed. It’s perfect for tailgate parties, long TV trips, or even apartment dwellers who don’t want to drill through property walls.

Installation is incredibly easy. Connect your regular cables to each end, pass it through the window and close the window! That’s all there is to it. It’s so thin that the window can close easily. How cool is that?

No more compromising between keeping the inside at a comfortable temperature and getting your favorite TV shows. No more fear that you’re leaving a window open all night or while you’re away. This is the perfect solution for cell boosters, too: it works with cellular antennas that use an “F” connection so you can fish the antenna line out the window!

The big question​


When people find out about this cable, their biggest question isn’t how it works, it’s why it doesn’t cause problems. Obviously a cable this thin isn’t going to conform to the RG6 standard. However, I can assure you it does work and there’s only a minimal effect to your satellite or cell phone performance.

The key is its length. At ten inches, it’s short enough that it doesn’t produce a meaningful amount of signal loss even though it lacks the shielding you find on RG6 cables, there just isn’t that much effect. The center conductor is robust enough to handle the bandwidth requirements of satellite or cell phone signal boosters, too. If this cable were longer, we’d certainly see some problems. But it isn’t. It’s only long enough to fish it through a window or door.

Shop at Solid Signal​


The price is right, so why not pick up several of these and store them in a drawer for when you need them? It’s true that they are more delicate than a regular cable so it might be a good idea to keep a few spares.
