Hey everyone,
Just wondering if any Canadians on here would like to share their sources for cabling in their ADS-B setups.
Sorry, I dont use quality cable. Rather I use the cheapest available cable, which I purchased from Dollarama, 50 ft coil of RG6 for Canadian $6.99 
Did you just use adapters to make everything work to and from the coax F connectors? If so where did you get your adapters?
I have the Flightaware antenna, so I need the cable to be N male to SMA male.
- I use RG6 because my entire installation (including antennas) is indoor, and cable runs are short (12 ft/4 m in system-1; 4 ft/1.3 m in system-2).
At FA antenna end, I use N-male to F-female adapter, and at Filter end I use F-female to SMA-male pigtail. The pigtail is better than adapter as it provides flexibility and reduces mechanical pull on the Fiter & Dongle. I purchased the pigtails from Amazon.ca/Ebay.ca. Please see image 1 below.
- If your antenna is installed outdoors and your cable run is greater than 10 meters, I recommend you use coax LMR400. It is available in different lengths on Amazon.ca/Amazon.com. Two versions are available:
(a) With both ends having N-Male connector (needs N to SMA adaptor or pigtail at Filter/Dongle end)
(b) N-Male at one end, SMA-Male at other end. The SMA-male end fits directly to Filter, but I recommend adding a pigtail at Filter to reduce pull of heavy LMR400 cable on the Filter or Dongle.

(3) Be careful when ordering cables/pigtails/connectors for SMA. The SMA connector comes in two verieties:
(a) SMA: male has pin, female has hole
(b) RP-SMA: male has hole, female has pin. Used mainly on WiFi.
Please see image 3 below.

This is FA antenna’s connection using RG6 coax:
N-male to F-female adapter at antenna
F-female to MCX-male pigtail at DVB-T end.
For FA Pro Stick and/or FA filter, pigtail is F-male to SMA-male. The pigtail cable is RG316.
Pgtails & adapters purchased from ebay.ca & amazon.ca
