Dr3am 0 Posted April 23, 2013 I am doing a job next week where 3 of the 16 existing cameras at a property are wired using RG6 coax cable with a security cable 20 AWG wire for power. I need to extend the wire and was wondering if I could use f connectors on both the rg6 and rg59 and use a standard barrel connector to connected them for video? Will it affect the Picture quality? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr3am 0 Posted April 30, 2013 No input? Figured someone has run into this problem in the field. Guess I will just have to use trial and error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigglebowski 0 Posted April 30, 2013 Yes technically you can splice and extend a coax but of course its not always ideal. Sounds like regular TV coax was used previously as the RG6, is the coax you plan on using CCTV type all copper RG59? Will you be using an RG59 F connector? If not using cctv grade RG59, then just splice in more RG6. Obviously weatherproof the splice if it ends up being outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
