Test result preview
The RedStar24 SAT antenna cable is a high-quality coaxial cable. It is designed for digital HDTV transmission. It offers 5-fold shielding and gold-plated F-connectors for stable and interference-free signal transmission. The cable is 3 metres long and available in white with an additional 90° angled F connector, ideal for tight installation environments. The angled F connector is particularly suitable for very slim Smart TVs with very tight installation spaces.
The RedStar24 SAT antenna cable has a high-quality finish. The 5-fold shielding (consisting of several layers of aluminium foil and wire mesh) ensures effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. The gold-plated F connectors improve contact quality and minimise signal loss. The additional 90° angled plug is particularly practical for connections that are difficult to access.
With shielding of 135 dB, the cable offers outstanding signal stability and quality. It is compatible with all common standards such as UHD 4K, 3D, DVB-S, DVB-S2 and also supports cable modems and routers. The lossless transmission enables very good picture and sound quality, ideal for use in home cinema systems and professional installations.
Installation of the RedStar24 SAT aerial cable is simple and user-friendly. Thanks to its flexible cable structure, it is easy to lay even in confined spaces. It retains its “cable shape” and can be bent back again easily and without great effort. The robust, gold-plated contacts guarantee a secure connection without loose contacts. The screw sleeves grip very tightly and leave no room for manoeuvre. However, a certain amount of force is required when loosening, so pliers or similar are recommended.
The RedStar24 3m SAT antenna cable impresses with its excellent workmanship, stable signal transmission and versatility. The combination of high-quality shielding and gold-plated connectors makes it an excellent choice for demanding users who require a reliable and loss-free connection for their digital HD transmissions.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there is criticism that there is no signal transmission. On the other hand, the elegant and functional design and easy installation are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the satellite cable lives up to its promise and that there were no signal errors. However, consumer criticism of poor workmanship was not justified.
Prices of up to €30.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €5.99 . The satellite cable from Redstar24 is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €10.99 and has a very good price/performance ratio. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
