Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line


I'm planning on having a dedicated line run directly to the service panel. There is a LOT of RF in this area; as we have an antenna farm within a few miles. Any specific recommendations for wire?

William, in my opinion there's a lot of RF everywhere. But obviously a bit more in your local.

To me, the advice is the same. I would recommend a 10guage 99.95% OFC that you can pick relatively cheap at partsexpress.com or some similar site.

Then to address the RF and general noise on the AC lines, I would recommend some type of power conditioner.

In my case, I'm using Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 dedicated in-line power conditioners that actually take the place of the power cord and cost about the same as a good power cord. Yet, the LC's do much more than power cord in the way of cleaning up the electrical noise.

Hope this helps.

Subaruguru, I've heard good things about the Belden cable you sell. However, I'm finding it extremely difficult to believe that any wire is 'noise free'.

A wire may be very good, but without proper line conditioning, I doubt that anyone could make the claim 'noise free' with credibility.

If you mean, the wire does not introduce any more noise that's perhaps one thing. But to say the wire removes ALL noise and hence the term 'noise free', well that's another story.

Even with the very best wiring and the very best line-conditioner, I would still doubt that the line is 'noise free'.

Correct me if I am wrong.
