March 07 2012

Cabling Plus is the #1 online distributor of premium RG59 Coaxial Cable which is the most common cable used in the installation of security cameras. We offer RG59 coaxial cable in individual cable or Siamese cable versions which include the integrated power cable to support both the power and video requirements for security cameras. Cabling Plus also offers RG59 coaxial cable and Siamese cable in CMR, CMP, and Direct Burial Rated versions that support any video applications. Our RG59 coaxial cables are manufactured by quality manufacturers that use the best materials to engineer this cable type. 

You may be asking yourself what exactly is RG59 coaxial cable used for? RG59 is a specific coaxial cable type that is most popular for low power video and RF signal connections. Most commonly you see RG59 cables included in the box when you buy consumer equipment like VCR’s or digital cable and satellite receivers. It is a relatively inexpensive cable type that is easy to install and terminate. Most commonly a RG59 coaxial cable is terminated with RCA, F, or BNC type connectors that allow you to easy plug the cable into the components you are using it for. Commonly F-Type connectors are your standard cable TV connector types and RCA connectors are often used to connect different component types like receivers, DVR’s, and VCR’s. Terminating a RG59 coaxial cable with a BNC connector is very common in security applications. Since most security cameras and security DVR’s have female BNC connectors built into them for the video signal, a female BNC connector is needed to create the connection. 

For CCTV system installations the RG59 coaxial cable is by far the most popular cable. Depending on your application you can choose to use a single RG59 cable or you can use a Siamese cable. Siamese Cable for CCTV is an RG59 and an 18/2 power cable all in one easy to pull and install cable. The Siamese cable for CCTV has both the RG59 and an 18/2 power cable stuck together side by side and they are easy to separate by just pulling them apart. Since you can easy pull them apart many people refer to this as a banana peel like cable. The RG59 is used for your video and then you can use the 18/2 cable to power up your camera. In a CCTV camera installation one end of your coax cable will plug into the camera and the other end will connect to your DVR or video viewing device, both via a BNC connector. The 18/2 power cable will then attach to your camera at one end while the other end will attach to your power source. Siamese CCTV cable is the most commonly used and easy to install cable for connecting all your CCTV equipment together.
