Thanks again Andy You can not use RG59 for power! how do you plan to send positive and negative current down the single center conductor?!? What you need or needed is RG59 with 18/2, this allows you to send video and power as you have 3 wires, 1 handles video and 2 handle power. 18/2 will handle 24V but RG59 on its own will NOT!

Transcend 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Thankyou for taking the time to help. I ended up useing the 18/2 for PTZ controls and video. I ran a seperate 22g 4c wire for the 24v power. Thanks again for your time.. Andy transcend inc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
