24VAC Power Cable Question

Recommended Posts

Up until now, I have only used/installed cameras that run on 12VDC. For those applications, I use RG59 siamese cables (RG59 & power combined).

 

Now, I am possibly adding a camera or two which requires 24VAC power. My plan is to install a 24VAC wall-mounted power supply box.

 

But, here is where I am lost -- what kind of wire do I use to transmit 24VAC power between the power supply to the camera? Can I use the same RG59/power cables (the siamese cables) to feed power 24AC to the new cameras? Or, is there a different type of cable one must use in order to transmit 24VAC power from the power supply box to the camera?

 

Thanks!!

Thanks!

 

Also, for 24V AC power supply boxes, does the box simply plug into a standard 120v outlet, or do I need to hard-wire a romex power cable from my home's circuit breaker box into the 24V AC box?
