Hi Grahame,

I sourced all my pig-tails and lengthy LMR-400 from Rojone. They're out at Ingleburn if you fancy the trek. They have very good service and will cater for custom jobs. So just tell them the length of cable run and whether you need SMA or N connectors either end etc, and they'll give you a same day quote on email.

Just keep in mind, the LMR-400 is quite a stiff and thicker cable than RG-58 for example, so it's not as easily bent around tight corners. But a straight run from antenna through the tiles in to the roof cavity should work easily, and with that quality cable, it'll be up there for years. Just remember to waterproof your exposed connections.
