unit979 0 Posted March 8, 2004 I have an unlimited supply of free rg6 cable. Will this be fine to run the camera's? I know that cable isn't the most expensive part of intallations. But if you had all the free rg6 cable you want, would you do it? Also, almost everything I will install is under 250 foot. If for some reason, rg6 isn't good enough, I found decent deals on a couple others. Here are the descriptions: 1. RG-59U Standard Shield, 1000Ft, Pull Box Gauge: 22AWG Impedance: 75OHM Shielding %: 100% AL Stranding: 16/4/0.12/AL Nominal Outside Diameter: 6.0+/-0.15MM $35.00 shipped 2. 500ft of RG59/U Non-Plenum CCTV cable. Manufactured by Genesis Cable Systems, L.L.C $28.00 shipped 3. Commscope 5575 1000-Ft Satellite Rg59 Coax Cable (Spool) 20 AWG, Solid CCS, Series 59, Non-Plenum, 75 Ohm $75.00 shipped Thanks, Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVCONSULTING 0 Posted March 8, 2004 Any coax using aluminum shield instead of copper braid is unsuitable for CCTV applications. However sometimes you can get away with aluminum on short runs. I'd suggest experimenting with the cable and see if you get a good picture at 250'. If you do then great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
