Cable Choice and Distances.

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I need to wire a dahua 2mp hdcvi camera approx 80ft from the DVR. I am considering to use a UTP cable with passive baluns. According to what i have read a lesser gauge cable such as 20 awg shows lesser voltage drops than a 24 awg cable, size of twisted pair being thicker (I may be wrong thou). Can i wire my camera with a 24 awg CAT5e cable with passive baluns with minimum loss of video signal and voltage drops within range? or should i use cable of other specification? Your suggestions would be of great help.

 

My camera uses max 4.5w and voltage range is 12v±10%. Power supply is 12v 1amp.

Hi, thanks for answering.

What gauge cable should I use? Should I go for 24awg or lesser?

 

Also what other better options I could go for?

Hi. Rg59 with 12v 5amp power is the easiest and no extra costs of baluns
