Long Story Short...

Can RG-6 Datacom Cable be spliced with a couple of F-type Connectors and a Coupler without much (i.e. noticeable to the consumer) loss in dB?

I drilled right through the longest RG-6 run I have in this small office I'm wiring. I've run a pair of 4-pair CAT-5 cables in Star configuration to each of two boxes in each office room, plus an RG-6 to one of the boxes in each room in case they need it. The RG-6s probabaly won't even be used, but if they are, I don't want some datacom guy thinking I'm a dummy for splicing it...

Replace or splice or ???

Thanks guys...
