FiveStarCable RG59 Coax 500ft Bare Copper Combo Cable Solid 20 AWG RG59 Video + 18/2 18 AWG Power Siamese Coaxial CCTV Cable ETL Listed Black

great price

This cable has everything I want in video surveillance cable: it is slick and easy to pull without lubricant, but remains flexible and robust without kinking easily. It is pure copper; some other cables are copper clad aluminum. Also, the power cable is 18AWG, which is good for power transmission up to 2 amps (for this reason, I suggest using this for all your CCTV runs, even if you have some free (probably 22 AWG - good for up to 0.92 amp) cables that came with your security package - this will allow you to be uniform and ready for any potential upgrades. (If you really want to be ready for the future, run some Cat6 at the same time, which you can use for PTZ, audio, and upgrades to IP cameras). BTW, the free cables that come with the packages share the ground conductor, which can make installation messier and annoy you if you are a perfectionist. It pulls apart easily, but only when you need it to. The cable is marked by the foot and the box has a place to write how much is left. It was also easy to connectorize with the RG-59 BNC compression connectors I bought here on Amazon. My only install tip is when you cut the end with your coax tool, ensure that the stranded ground cable (outside the dielectric) remains to make a ground with the connector, but that none of the strands remain long enough that they can come in contact with the 20AWG signal conductor when connectorizing.

Very flexible

Using this for a basic CCTV installation in my building. Does the trick I guess, but the cable feels cheap, its a bit too rigid for my liking, and the power wires strip easily which increases the potential for an accidental grounding somewhere. Itll work and it wasnt too expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Not bad cable. I am currently purchasing my third roll. Rolls out of the box nicely and serves its purpose.

Not only a great price. But easy to feed and flexible!

Great price for copper cable.

Very easy to run and connect

Got the job done

Great quality product. I used to install satellite and was just as good as any other coax Ive ever used plus an extra elect. Wire. I would recommend for for any person that does multi projects because u can use for sat. ,cams. Good to have on hand I have had several uses for my box and still have plenty left.
