but as fit and good-looking as a young lad. The SC-Astral-LLX has a patented construction of carbon screens around solid wire and insulation plus a protective polyester foil underneath the PVC outer jacket. This prevents material fatigue and results in consistent damping values for years to come. Conventional SAT cables usually lose their good damping values during installation and assembly: the original round shape of the skin PE insulation becomes oval and the solid conductor loses its centre position even with only slight bendings. The two carbon screens of the SC-Astral-LLX stabilise the solid conductor and the skin PE insulation. Thus the cable maintains its round shape and electrical values, even after installation. This type of construction also enabled us to achieve super low damping values and a shielding factor of 120 dB! Hence the SC-Astral-LLX also meets the HDSDI standard and is suitable for long installation distances on large SAT receiving systems.
