Can I use UL Litsted RG59 Siamese Coaxial CCTV Cable - Combo 20 AWG Solid Copper RG59 + 18/2 18AWG Power? Will it support 300' cable length?

I have a run that long and it works. I also have a run shorter than that and it occasionally has RF interference. An important factor when running the wire is to keep as far as possible from sources of RF. This will be electric wires, dimmers, and switches primarily but if you can keep the run away from CATV, that would be good too.

Rg8u or rg8x will work. I don't see why rg58u would not work.it is 50 ohm and can handle relatively high wattage. Also you might check on I think it is 213 or 218 coax. A lot of the radio operators here use it.

Buy 200' or longer Siamese (signal/power) cables and bury the wires in pvc conduit. May lose some quality but better then nothing.

Coaxial cable will carry crisp HD signal for 300 feet or more. With the low-rez quality of this video I would surmise that you can go longer than that without great loss of video quality.

yes. I just replaced my old rg 59 with rg 6. Rg 6 and above will be able to carry nicely your digital signal. Above that will be a waste of money because the cable companies don't even carry above rg 6.

Awg around 14-16. This is low voltage video cable. you can connect 2 50 foot runs together but would not exceed 2. may have pixel loss.

Look up the db loss per foot for RG-6 times the number of feet. I forget what that number is, but it is readily available. For every 3 db loss, you are loosing 1/2 the signal strength. Put the amplifier as close as possible to the external antenna, so the signal gets amplified before the cable loss. If you have a very weak signal to start with, 300 feet is probably too long. However, if you have a stronger signal to start with, it might work.

Short answer, yes. The is no shielding for the signal on UTP wire. For anything over 150' you would want to use a RG59 cable, if you need the powerlines, then get RG59 Siamese cable. that will get you up to about 300-500 feet, you can typically go up to about 1800' if you run RG6.

Maximum was in booklet but can't find at present. Possibly quite a bit of resistance with 300' but unsure. It is standard RG6. Go on Wilson Electronics site for more info.

Rg59 with two 25ga wires for power.you can buy it in bulk on amazon. Or you can run cat5 but you will need special adaptor blauns

I've run some really long wires for these cameras but not the ones provided, I used Siamese cable and I think I did a 150ft run no problem

I meant to say no. 300 watt is the max. You are at 400. Too much will melt cable

No you will need to get a standard RG-6 cable which are commonly available in 50 and 100 ft lengths at places like Home Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack, Amazon, etc

My runs are about 150 ft. But coax is pretty robust so 300 ft or so should work fine

I'm not 100% sure if mine is rated RG6 but I was successful in attaching my eye to a standard in-wall Coax Cable. Mine runs another 50 feet without any problem. FYI the first box had some problems but they exchanged it for no cost and that one works fine.

I was told to use Cat&a; because you'll have more lenght (100m) but if I'm not wrong Cat6 "should maybe" works, if you don't know get Cat&a; because the price diffrence is not very high if you buy a bunch of cables.

Yes RG8-50 ohm coax will work--But remember, if you are planning on running alot of watts, you should run RG 213--its the bigger coax--but yes, to answer your question, RG8 coax will work for sure.
