Fortec DVB-786 and max Coax type

Would the Fortec receiver be able to handle an RG-8/U Cable? It is 9AWG.

What about 14AWG which is RG-11. I'm just wondering if the copper cable would be too large to insert into the LNB-IN jack. I don't actually have the cable myself but considering different cable types to experience less signal loss.

You must use an adapter to bring down the incoming coax to RG6 -- both RG8 and RG11 have an inner conductor that is much to large to fit a standard F connector. Why do you feel you need a coax cable other than RG6 ?
