Wanted Actuator Cable

[goaliebob99]

Looking for actuator cable that someone might beable to part with. I need about 100 feet at the most. Just enough to get out from the back yard wich is about 20 ft, and then into the crawl and up. wich is about another 50 feet or so. I have dish, actuator and everything else, just need the cable, some bolts (going to home depot for that) and a pole wich im going to home depot for that too!

I'm hoping to get started with my setup in a couple of weeks.

Bob you don't need TVRO cable. All you need is sprinkler wire and underground rated RG-6. (unless you want to run conduit from the dish to the house, I have the same 20' run that you have, conduit was CHEAP, then you can use regular RG-6.) Quite a few of us use sprinkler wire, you can get it at your nearest home improvement store. costs About 30 bucks for 100'.

Added benefit is the separate wires are a whole lot easier to pull down a wall than the big, honkin' ribbon cable.

You're welcome.

I think I still have the roll I bought a couple of years ago. I'm not sure how long it is.

I used Outdoor Speaker wire for the Motor, along with Sprinkler Wire for Reed Switch and Servo.

I've used Cat 5 for the Polorotor and 12 gauge for the Motor...
