    Question from newbie

    Make sure your coax has a solid copper center conductor and copper braided shielding. There should be no aluminum nor steel used by the cable. If you're using siamese cable, the ikegami document doesn't apply--the run lengths are much shorter for the power conductors due to voltage drop. I can't make heads or tails out of this question, "Is there any hardware like switch for coaxial ?" -dw hi wattwire, Thanks for your useful answer... sry for my bad english. what im trying to ask is, is there any hardware can be define as a " booster" for coaxial cable? eg: the max length of cat5e is about 80m--100m right? how abt coaxial cable?if the coaxial reaches it limitation, is there any hardware to boost it?i want to know the max length coaxial cable can be apply to a long distance between camera and monitor/ DVR. Thank You.
