🛡️📹 CCTV Siamese Video & Power Cable

This cable merges two essential lines—video and power—into a single, conjoined cable jacket. It’s designed for analog CCTV systems, allowing cameras to transmit footage while receiving power through the same cable run.
 
🔧 Cable Format
Video Line: Coaxial cable
Power Line: 18AWG 2-conductor (positive & ground)
Jacket: Unified PVC sheath with split capability
Connectors:
BNC for video (male/female)
DC barrel or terminal block for power
Lengths: Available in bulk spools (500–1000ft) or premade patch cables (25–150ft)
 
🖥️ Compatible Devices
📷 Analog CCTV cameras (BNC output)
📼 DVRs with BNC video inputs
🔌 12V DC or 24V AC power supplies
🧰 Power distribution boxes
🏢 Home, commercial, and industrial surveillance systems
 
✅ Common Uses
🧩 Simplify camera installation with one cable run
🏠 Home security setups with multiple wired cameras
🏢 Commercial surveillance with centralized power
🛠️ Custom-length installations using bulk cable
🔌 Power and video routing from DVR to remote cameras
 
🧠 Signal Format Notes
Video: Analog signal via coax
Power: Low-voltage DC or AC (camera dependent)
No Data or Audio: Strictly video + power
No IP Support: Not for networked or PoE cameras
Max Distance:
Video: ~700 ft (without amplifier)
Power: ~300 ft (depends on voltage and current draw)
 
⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
🔌 Voltage drop over long runs—use thicker gauge or local power
🧯 Not compatible with IP or PoE cameras
🧼 Keep power and video ends clearly labeled to avoid miswiring
🧪 Avoid sharp bends—can damage coax shielding
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧪 Test each run before final installation
🧼 Use cable clips or conduit for clean routing
