arfur mo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 hi all, on long runs armoured my present simular problems to screened cable, as the pF value could be degrading to any multitplexed signal, so if room allows it i'll always go for toughest uPVC conjuit. also allows for an extra cables to be run at the same time or later due to oversight perhaps, in standard cable so pro rata a lot cheaper than a single armoured. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
