Coax Type 734 Over 450 Feet?
I know the theoretical limit of coax type 734 is 450 feet.

If you don't mind the risk of occasional garbled data. In a video, pic, music, etc. a flipped bit or two doesn't matter that much. However, even one flipped bit in a spreadsheet could spell disaster.

Try it but if you are getting unacceptably degraded images, sound or really slow data transfers then you will need a booster.

No, you are boosting a good signal midway that has not degraded by running it through a 450 foot cable.
But as I said, try it first before buying a booster. |
