Dish Network 500 Instructions Manual page 91

Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF
and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150
MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH Network retailer, or
look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables
or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These
other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59.
Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof
F-connectors.
Tighten all of the coaxial cable connection only by hand. If
you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and
damage your equipment. Such damage is not covered by the
Limited Warranty.
7. Thread the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast support arm and the Y-
bracket. This cable should be long enough to run from your receiver to
your LNBF.
