    Default Dual Co-Ax cable.

    What is the correct name for that figure 8 style RG6 co-ax I see being used on dual outlet LNB's?
    I saw my first only recently on a friends IQ and yesterday on a Satellite Subsidy Sheme VAST rural installation.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Have heard similar things called twinax. I used to have heaps as i used to install Cisco 1300 series wireless bridges and they used a dual coax feed.

    Never had any probs myself just pull apart by hand most of the time or a knife to get started, much like figure8 spkr cable but just a bit stronger.

    I've never had problems separating it either... but I think bf meant it as a humourous comment.

    Maybe someone can invent a cable splitting devise that works along the lines of a 'Maiden Form Bra' that 'Lifts and Seperates'...................................

    Lifts, separates, and strips right before your eyes.... I sense a poorly worded advertisment coming on :P

    Easy to separate, all you need is a giant metal letter "W"
