It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and compatible with most cameras up to 8MP. The braided coax cable offers extra shielding. It meets the FCA reaction to fire classification. Technical specifications include: Inner Conductor DC resistance @ 20Cc - Coax: 20 Ohm, Power: 35.3 Ohm; Outer Conductor DC resistance @ 20C - Coax: 48 Ohm; Rated Temp: 80C; Impedance: 75 Ohm-3 Ohm.
This kenable SFX RG59 Coaxial Cable with integrated power conductors is designed for CCTV installers who need to run both video and power signals simultaneously. Its key benefit is simplifying installations by combining two essential cables into one, reducing labor and potential points of failure. A potential consideration is its suitability for up to 8MP cameras, meaning higher resolutions might require separate power solutions. This 100m drum offers braided coax for enhanced shielding and meets fire reaction classifications.

FAQs
What is the maximum camera resolution this cable supports?
This cable is suitable for cameras up to 8MP resolution.
Can this cable be used for both indoor and outdoor installations?
Yes, the cable is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
What type of connectors are needed for this cable?
You will need standard RG59 BNC connectors for the video signal and appropriate DC power connectors for the two integrated power conductors.
Does the cable include shielding against interference?
Yes, the RG59 coax section features braided shielding for improved signal integrity and protection against interference.
What are the DC resistance values for the cable?
The Inner Conductor DC resistance at 20°C is 20 Ohm for Coax and 35.3 Ohm for Power. The Outer Conductor DC resistance at 20°C is 48 Ohm for Coax.
What is the temperature rating for this cable?
The rated temperature for this cable is 80°C.
Is this cable suitable for all CCTV camera power requirements?
The two 0.75mm² power conductors are suitable for most standard CCTV camera power needs. However, for cameras with very high power consumption or for very long runs, verifying power delivery capacity is recommended.
Troubleshooting
No video signal to the recorder
Check that the BNC connector is securely attached to both the camera and the recorder. Verify the center conductor and shield are correctly positioned and making contact. Inspect the cable for any visible damage or kinks.
Camera not receiving power
Ensure the power conductors are correctly connected to the power source and the camera's power input. Verify the power supply is active and providing the correct voltage. Check the stripped ends of the power conductors for a secure connection.
Intermittent video or 'snowy' picture
This could indicate poor shielding or interference. Ensure the coaxial cable's outer braid is properly connected to the BNC connector's ground. Check for nearby sources of electromagnetic interference and reposition the cable if possible. Ensure the cable is not damaged.
Poor power delivery to camera
The 0.75mm² conductors may be insufficient for cameras with very high power demands or over very long distances. Consider using a separate, thicker gauge power cable for such demanding applications.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Simplifies installation by combining video and power cables.
Generous 100m length suitable for large projects.
Improved signal quality due to braided shielding.
Broad compatibility with many CCTV camera models.
Suitable for diverse installation environments (indoor/outdoor).
Cons
May not be suitable for cameras exceeding 8MP resolution.
Requires specific connectors for both coax and power conductors.
Bulk of the combined cable might be slightly larger than a single coax cable.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unspool the required length of cable from the 100m drum. Ensure minimal kinking during unspooling.
Prepare the ends of the cable. For the RG59 coax section, use a coaxial stripper tool to expose the center conductor and shield. For the power conductors, strip a small amount of insulation from the ends.
Attach appropriate connectors: a BNC connector for the RG59 coax and suitable power connectors (e.g., barrel connectors) for the two power conductors. Ensure the braid is properly terminated to the connector body for shielding effectiveness.
Connect the BNC end to the video input of your CCTV recorder or camera. Connect the power ends to your power source or distribution unit.
Compatibility:
Video: Compatible with CCTV systems utilizing RG59 connectors and supporting up to 8MP resolution.
Power: The two 0.75mm² power conductors are suitable for standard DC power requirements of most CCTV cameras. Verify the camera's power draw to ensure suitability.
Connectors: Requires standard RG59 BNC connectors and compatible DC power connectors.
Care:
Store excess cable on the drum or in a neat coil to prevent damage.
Protect cable ends from moisture and dust when not in use.
Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal conductors or shielding.
Regularly inspect exposed cable sections for signs of wear or damage, especially in outdoor installations.
