I have a coaxial cable that says "For connection between the receiver and tv only" I connect that cable to my tuner but would that specific coaxial cable work for a cable box too? It's a long cable and it worked when i connect it to my satellite receiver but i'm not sure if there are coaxial cables that work only from cable-to- tv or satellite receiver-to-tv

i can look for some?
