Hi Get a chunk of RG-6 quad shield satellite TV coax from your local big box store. If the TBolt is 50' away from the antenna that's fine. Unless you have a very unusual home, you should be able to hit the antenna with 50' of cable. As others have said, you want the TBolt in a well controlled environment.
