I don't know if it's necessary, but I'm also thinking about routing the cable to my power conditioner and then to the tuner, in case that might clean up the signal a bit. So I'd be looking at two cables: one about 12–15ft., the other 6ft.

Thanks for any suggestions out there.
Blue Jeans uses Belden, more or less the industry standard. Below is a good link to various cable designs -- fast read.

I would be cautious about the power conditioner if your antennae/cable is already properly grounded to the house ground. Try and see. The conditioner cannot be better at rejecting extraneous frequencies/noise than the tuner itself, otherwise it would be a tuner.

I would increase the length of the first cable sufficient that it can reach directly to the tuner to keep your options open.
