What's the longest run of RG6 coax cable that can be used with a cell signal booster? SolidRF RG6 Coax 15 ft. F-Male Connectors SRFRG6-15

The maximum length of coax cable that can be used with a cell signal booster is dependent on several factors, including:

Outside (ambient) cell signal strength
The gain of the signal booster
The gain of the antennas (outdoor and indoor)
The type of cable being used
The cellular frequencies being amplified (higher frequencies have more loss than lower frequencies)
How much indoor area you’re trying to cover

Because of all these variables, the only sure way to determine maximum cable length is to try out different types and lengths of cables.

All other things being equal, we generally don’t recommend using runs of RG6 coax longer than 30 feet. If you have strong outside signal, high-gain antennas, or a small indoor area to cover, you may be able to get away with as much as 45 feet.

If you need a long run of cable (say, 50 to 75 feet), RG11 coax is a low-loss alternative to RG6. You can usually run RG11 cables that are twice as long as RG6 with about the same loss.
