Guest eddiefast Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 hi forum i was at a cctv job two weeks ago and the installer of the system used what he called 4 core screened alarm cable to fit the cameras inside a newly fitted out pub. i asked him why and he told me normal coax would look unsitely as it has just been decorated (wich i agree) the picture quality at the end of the job looked fine with no noticeable picture loss (40 meter runs). i have looked in my cpc book and there is loads of types of screened cable if anyone uses this this wire can you please let me know where you get it from. its no good me just guessing thanks eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The Belden is a different type of cable, Belden is also a brand and is one of the best makes of cable available. The 4 core screened in CPC will probably be some cheapy stuff with the word 'pro' in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistle Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I have found anything over 30m with beldon starts to give problems. But for short runs you cant beat it as video and power ( 12v) in the same cable and cheaper and smaller than Shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Premier Cables are a good supplier, web site is not that good but there service is reliable. We also use Batt Cables they are also reliable, huge stocks and next day delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest camdec Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Eddie If it is just Screened alarm cable you want then i would suggest going to somewere like Gardiner Security Ltd, Norbain ect. I would say however i don't recommend using screened alarm cable on standard CCTV cameras with out any converters as it is recommended that the cable has a 75 Ohm tolerance Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
