?Hi, I have a client that has a main house and guest house. The main house has Comc ast service but the guest house does not. It is about 300 feet away with a conduit run. We are trying to bring CATV service to the guest house by fiber or wireless but I'm not sure what the choices are that handle broadband service. Is there a wireless solution or a fiber solution anyone is aware of?
I would run RG-11 and not worry about it, with miles of runs between boost amplifiers out on the pole 300' would not be a problem unless your trying to get out of digging the trench?
I do not know of a wireless that would handle the whole cable TV spectrum which about covers the lower RF spectrum, but as far as for Internet there are a few methods for that.
Edited to add it would almost have to be a microwave link or something up in the upper Ghz band to have the bandwidth. second I doubt it would be allowed or even legal as cable companies take a very dim view on re-broadcasting their signal over the air where others could maybe hi-jack it for their own use, for just a 300' run I would not worry too much about using a good grade quad shield RG-11 or larger cable of course DB listed, unlike analog digital signals pass through cable much better then analog does and it doesn't take much signal level to still get the video through, we used to say "its clear or it's not there", the only two options with digital.
This kind of thing can make satellite a good choice because it doesn't matter where you put the receiver, install another dish dial it in and your up and running, I know a few people who have a summer camper out at a camp ground miles from their home, and all they do is take one of their receiver's from home and hook it up to a dish on their camper and they have TV again.
But a good quality RG-11 should go 500+ feet with no problems, from each end you should have no problems dropping down to a RG-6 as long as you use very low loss connectors, and even if you do have a little more signal loss then you expect then you can install a bi-directional broad band amplifier to bring it back up to specs, just get one with an adjustable gain so you don't over drive the receiver.
