sat connections are f plug
aerial are belling lee male and female
but i would use f connectors for all and use adaptors to convert to belling lee as needed
Webro WF100 if you just need a single run. There's a shotgun version where two coax a joined in parallel for recorder boxes. These are RG6 sized cables, so about a 6.5~6.7mm diameter.
For something that takes up less space, have a look at WF65. This is generally sold as a shotgun mini coax. Each cable has an outer diameter of 4.6mm
All the above are 100% copper cables with a foam dielectric. You really can't go wrong with these.
I think CT100 used to be an air-spaced coax. Thar is to say that instead of foam it used an open cell dielectric insulator to maintain the 75 Ohm impedance relationship between the core conductor size and the braid shielding. Air is a good insulator.
Back when CT100 was the go-to coax, foam dielectric wasn't as advanced as today. It would hold moisture, and that's not good for the signal or any gear connected to it. If airspace had a weakness, it was its habit of kicking if bent too much. This changed the spacing between the core and shielding, and could result in a notch filter effect potentially knocking out a narrow frequency band. Bad news if your channel happened to be in that band.
Modern namesake products us foam dielectric, and they could also use lesser grade materials for the core and the shielding.
Webro WF100 every time...
All copper (core, tape screen and braid). Equivalent all copper brands exist and will usually proclaim that <all copper construction> fact.
CT100 is no longer made but the number designation is used for all sorts of rubbish cable construction. Real CT100 was also air spaced so less than ideal when water gets in and tracks down those air spaced holes. Great for indoor use.
Kinking any coaxial cable is bad news and I don't recall air spaced coax (single or double-screened) being more prone to such damage cf foam core.
A minimum bend radius of 10x the outside diameter, so circa 65-70mm, must be adhered to... not easy to adhere to in some termination instances (e.g. faceplate modules).
WF65 cable is lossier compared to WF100.
25 dB/100m cf 15.4 dB at 600 MHz (UHF TV)
45dB cf 27 dB / 100 m at 1.75 GHz (Satellite IF).
It also need special F-plugs to match the smaller OD but then the bend radius is reduces to around 45 mm.
Doncaster Cables had at one time appropriated the CT100 designation but they use copper clad aluminium for the foil and braid screens and call it DRC 100 today... https://www.doncastercables.com/cab...Security/Satellite-TV-Coaxial-Cable-as-CT100/
Probably less than ideal for DC power to LNBs (and masthead amps) in some situations, but if water / damp gets in a disaster waiting to happen!
