No! The GPS-200A is designed to work with Belden 8219 or equivalent Low Loss cable. Using other cables or splicing more cable in line with the original will seriously hamper performance or prevent a GPS lock altogether. Longer lengths of low loss cable are available upon special order from Masterclock® Inc.
