tibibond 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Hello!! I wonder if i can use ftp cat5 cable( foiled twisted pair) for the video signal and the power for cctv cameras! I plan to use it over 60m! I m asking because i ordered accidentaly ftp cable and not utp, that i understand is best suited for my needs! So is the foil used in ftp cable cause interferance and i should try yo return the cable and get upt cable? Or i can use this ftp cable for video and power? I will use pasive video baluns if that mathers and for power i i will use a 12volts power adapter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jodie 0 Posted June 4, 2013 You might consider bonding a couple pair together for your power instead of a single 22-24 AWG. Other than that - it'll work fine. We carry power and video out to cameras over twisted pair all the time, with passive or active baluns depending upon distance, out to 3000' or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
