Swann BNC Coaxial Cable for Security Camera CCTV System, Audio Video Extension Power Cables, UL Certified and Fire Resistant, 100ft (100 Ft / 30 M) (SWPRO-30ULCBL)

I needed 130 foot coax between house and shed. Since additional cameras (#7 and #8) on DVR8-4580V came with 60’ coax, I decided to opt for adding the 100 foot extension vice throwing the two 60 foot out and buying two custom made 130 foot cables. As one would expect, the power wire came with M-F ends for good reliable contact. For some reason, the BNC for the video came with F-F along with a M-M adaptor to connect the two pieces to get to 160 feet. No problem getting both power and video over that distance, but the video connection was very unreliable and I had to go to great lengths with electrical tape to keep the connection tight. I wish the video BNC extension wire came with M-F as well, same as the power. Note: a previous reviewer stated the power couldn’t go that far and he had to supply the power at the camera. My original 6-camera system came with 2 power adapters: a 4-1 and a 2-1. All worked fine with provided 60 foot wires. My two add-on cameras (to make 8 total) each came with 1-1 adapters, which had no problem getting power over the 160 feet. I suspect if you tried to push that distance with the 4-1 adapter or perhaps even the 2-1 you might have problems, as the previous reviewer reported, due to attenuation. To be fair, the Swann Tech Support recommended upfront during my research that I buy custom cables vice using the extension, so they are aware of the issues. But, as a matter of principle I just couldn’t trash the two 60 foot cables and then spend additional for two replacement cables. In retrospect, I should have! But, system with all 8 cameras has performed well for 6-months, after the initial 6 was in use for over a year. Moral of the story: you get what you pay for. Great economical system, but you might want to beef up the connections depending upon your application. By the way, Swann Tech Support has been great!

Same as you would buy at the store.

No

Product works as expected. Does come with a BNC connector so you wouldnt have to buy a connector kit.
