[breda 0]

Hi, we have 200 foot RG-59 none siamese about 35 to 40 feet of it went bad due to water infiltration so we cut out the last 40 feet of it and ran new Belden 543945 RG59 20 AWG SOL Shielded CCTV Cable https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/belden-543945-rg59-20-awg-sol-shielded-cctv-cable-75-ohm.html we had to install a total of 4 new Klein Tools VDV812-615 Universal Compression Connector, RG59 with the Mediabridge F81 Splice Connector - 3GHz Female to Female F-Type Coaxial Cable Extension everything is running through PVC and flexible conduit we also did use 3M Clear Wire Pulling Lubricant WLC-QT, 1 when we hook up the DoorKing CCTV camera http://www.doorking.com/sites/default/files/downloads/1812-148-K-9-11_CCTV_Kit.pdf we get no video, so we temporary ran RG-6 jumper cable to old coax that was not damaged and it works fine we get video about 160 feet away inside the home, wanted to ask if it be single loss because going thru 4 F connectors and 2 Splice Connector? or can one of the F Connectors be grounding out? can in anyone recommend what kind of testing we can do to find out where the problem is?

 

Thanks

for every connector you are possibly causing a point of failure. If the RG-59 had water damage to 40 ft it is possible it was damaged further up than that. Why not replace the whole run with new cable and cut down on the number of connectors? Are you running cable rated for outdoor with a gel filling? If that belden cable is not outdoor rated and you have all ready had a water problem you may be back in the same boat again.

Hi, jeromephone were not able to replace all of runs in different conduit it did not have any water in it we also did attach test camera to the end of the 160 run and it works great in the home we also independently tested the 40 foot new cable run with test camera and monitor and it works great is their way to measure signal strength on the cable with the camera or what about amplifier? we are not using cable rated for outdoor with a gel filling the conduit that had water in was not seal properly and have sucked all water out and it is now dry

 

Thanks for all the help
