Belden 549945 Siamese cable or CAT5E

[66ChevellePost 0]

Hi,

 

I plan on replacing my camera wiring runs when the weather cools. Right now I have some cheap Ebay RG6 siamese wiring run and it's kind of thin stuff. I have a crawl space above the house I access to make my runs and I am getting up in years and not as flexible as I once was so when I pull new wire I want it to be my last. I have no runs longer than 60ft.

 

So in saying that I just would like to get a consensus on what I should run. I have a spool of CAT5E cable already or should I go with Belden 549945 Siamese cable. I thought of running both types of wiring or would this be overkill and a waste of money.

 

Right now I have 3 old cheap analog cameras but plan on replacing them with:

1/3" Progressive Scan CMOS

HD-TVI Technology

720p HD (1280x720) resolution
