Product Information

Full details

This kenable BNC cable is designed for reliable video interconnections, ideal for users needing a straightforward and durable coaxial cable for surveillance systems, older video equipment, or test setups. Its primary benefit is a stable signal transmission due to its pure copper conductors and 75ohm RG59 construction, though the 0.5m length may be restrictive for longer runs. Key features include its RG59 75ohm specification, pure copper conductors, and a 0.5m length with BNC plug to plug connectors.

FAQs

What is RG59 cable used for?

RG59 is a type of coaxial cable commonly used for transmitting analog video signals, such as those from CCTV cameras, and also for radio frequency (RF) applications.

What does 75ohm mean?

75ohm refers to the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable. This impedance is standard for video signals to ensure maximum power transfer and minimize signal reflections.

Are BNC connectors secure?

Yes, BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connectors are designed with a bayonet-style locking mechanism that provides a secure and reliable connection, preventing accidental disconnection.

Can this cable be used for digital video signals?

While it can sometimes carry lower bandwidth digital signals, this RG59 cable is primarily designed and optimized for analog video. For high-definition digital signals, shielded digital coaxial cables are generally recommended.

What is the benefit of pure copper conductors?

Pure copper conductors offer better electrical conductivity than copper-clad steel, leading to lower signal loss and improved signal quality over the length of the cable.

How do I connect this cable?

Align the BNC plug with the port and push it in, then twist it clockwise until it locks into place. To disconnect, push the plug in slightly and twist counter-clockwise.

Troubleshooting

No video signal

Ensure both BNC connectors are securely plugged into the correct input/output ports. Test the cable with different equipment if possible. Check that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly.

Flickering or poor image quality

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electrical interference. Try a different cable to rule out the cable as the source of the problem.

Loose connection

Gently check if the BNC connectors are fully seated and locked. If the connector feels worn or loose, the cable may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides stable signal transmission for video.
  • Durable construction with pure copper conductors.
  • Standard BNC connectors ensure wide compatibility with video gear.
  • Compact size ideal for short, tidy connections.

Cons

  • The 0.5m length limits its use for longer cable runs.
  • Primarily for video; not suitable for high-speed data networking.
  • Basic shielding, may be susceptible to interference in highly noisy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply connect the BNC plugs on each end of the cable to the corresponding BNC input and output ports on your video equipment. Ensure a firm click to confirm the connection is secure.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any equipment featuring standard BNC connectors, typically found on analog CCTV cameras, DVRs, professional video monitors, broadcast equipment, and test instruments.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable. Store in a dry environment. Clean the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth if they become dusty. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
