A "flat" RG-6 coaxial cable is absolutely *not* a 75 ohm coaxial cable. 

It is not a suitalbe substituition for real RG-6 cable. >

All I know is it worked perfectly when I used it and now it's still working 
perfectly in the window of the cottage here at the farm. It's been in almost 
constant use for over 5 years....

<I can see why the ease of installation may make this attractive. Be aware of 

the effects which impedance bumps in the feedline of a satellite television 
low-noise block-downconverter may cause. If you see them, and don't like 
them, you know where the culprit is.

There is no way that such a flat jumper cable exhibits a 75-ohm 
characteristic 
impedance. >

More like 6 years.....

Lots of people use them happily.... I stand by the recommendation.
