I am currently using RG6 cable which is 30ft. I have some cable which is listed below (50ft) and need to know if I butt connected using BNC the two together if it will degrade incoming frequencies. Using a SDS200 scanner. I just want to get the antenna to the upper floor for better reception. I am using a wide band antenna. Thanks

The Commscope F6SSVV-E83032 is a 75 ohm coaxial cable with the following specifications:
  • Brand: CommScope
  • Manufacturer part number: F6SSVV-E83032
  • Jacket color: Black
  • Jacket material: Flame retardant PVC
  • Center conductor material: Copper-clad steel
  • Dielectric material: Foam polyethylene
  • Nominal diameter over jacket: 6.02 mm (0.237 in)
  • Center conductor gauge: 18 AWG
  • Center conductor type: Solid
  • Shield construction type: Dual shield

That is an RG-6 type cable similar to what you have. Make sure you use a connector compatible with that cable.
