cable booster

At my rec property I have cablevision TV wired into the cabin. It works perfectly for the rainy days but I tried to run a long wire (125') out to a guest trailer in the yard and have it there too. Seems like that run in too long for it to work properly.

Is there a way to boost the signal to the trailer through this long extension? Would the booster go in the trailer to pull the signal or in the cabin to push it?

Thanks.

  • 125ft is a lot of coax for TV strength RF
    if you try a booster
    i would put it at the cabin to increase signal , before going on that long run of coax

    make sure your using quality coax, not some cheap stuff bought on ebay
    you want premium low loss cable
