Alternative to cat5 for use with baluns?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if I can use other small gauge wire instead of cat5 between video baluns? Maybe underground sprinkler wire? Would different wire affect video quality and usable distance?

the baluns are designed to work with twisted pair cat 5-6. It is cheap. If you have to go underground you can get direct bury cat 5 or 6 little more expensive but still cheap.

I already have a bunch of sprinkler wire, twisted pair, and similar, so I was just wanting to know if I can use that up before I go buy cat5?
