How Far can you Run Coaxial Cable for CCTV?
Most home CCTV systems can use standard-issue RG cables. However, if you’re looking for a CCTV system for a larger building, then you may want to consider some other options.In this handy guide, we’ll go over which cables are suitable for extended distance applications.How Far Should I Run A Coax Cable?As a hard and fast rule, coaxial cables are not recommended for applications over…It’s not recommended that coax cables are used for extended distance applications. The main problem with using standard-issue RG coaxial cables for long distance applications is that, in long distance runs the cable undergoes something called signal loss, known in the industry as attenuation. This happens when the signal being transmitted leaks from within the cable, cause the signal to be less strong.As you can see from the table below, attenuation rates differ depending on the type of coaxial cable, and increase as the length and bandwidth of the cable increases.Coax Cable Attenuation Loss Chart (per 100ft)Loss (MHz)Coax Cable Attenuation per 100ft (dB)RG59RG6RG1110.40.20.2101.40.60.4503.31.41.01004.92.01.62007.32.82.340011.24.33.570016.95.64.790020.16.05.4100021.56.15.6Which Cables Can I Use for Extended Distance?If you’re looking to for a high-bandwidth signal to be carried over a long distance, we’d recommend looking into Extended Distance Coaxial Cables. These cables are constructed with an additional layer of protective shielding around the conductor, so that less signal is lost over long distances.Have any further questions about our coax cables?

Can Coaxial Cables be Used for Power?
Coaxial Cables are most commonly used for video applications, such as television and CCTV. However, because they’re constructed specifically to be protected against signal loss, they can be used for other applications too.In this guide, we’ll help you to understand the types of cables that can be used for power.Can I Use A Coaxial Cable for Power?While coaxial cables are most often used for carrying video signals, you might be surprised to learn that it’s a common practice in the engineering industry to also use them to power small-scale electronics. Coaxial cables feature high-quality shielding and insulation to ensure a reduction in signal loss outside the cable, so can be an ideal choice if you’re particularly concerned about signal loss.However, the reason why this isn’t standard practice is because coaxial cables can be more expensive than other cables that can be used in the same application.There are also coaxial cables that feature a shotgun style construction, meaning that there are two connected cables sold as a pair. One cable is an RG cable, and the other is a power cable – this way, if you’re looking to power a video system, one cable will power the video system, and the other will carry the video signal.What Other Cables Can Be Used for Power?The types of cable that are ordinarily used for power are simply referred to as power cables. They are used to transmit electrical power from one location to another.There are a few different types of power cables – to view our helpful guide on the types of power cable, click here.If you’re looking for a power cable for an application where it’ll be moved around once installed, we recommend Flexible Power Cables. These are constructed specifically to withstand the daily wear and tear that a cable undergoes if constantly flexed or moved around; for example, a regular Power Cable may experience breaks in the shielding, insulation, or even the sheathing if flexed too much.If you have any questions that weren’t answered in this article, please click here to contact our team of experts.

RS485 Cable vs Other Communication Standards - What’s the Difference?
RS485, RS232, and Ethernet are different communication standards used in various applications. In this guide, we will compare them in terms of their advantages, limitations, and suitable applications.RS485 CableWhat are the advantages of RS485?RS485 cables support long-distance communication (up to 1200m) and multi-drop network configurations, allowing multiple devices to be connected on a single bus. They feature excellent noise immunity, making them suitable for industrial environments. RS485 modbus cables are also well known for their robustness, reliability, and simple wiring.What limitations may you come across with RS485 cable?RS485 has a lower data transfer rate compared to Ethernet and USB. It does not provide power over the cable length, so separate power connections may be required for connected devices.What applications is RS485 most suitable for?RS485 is commonly used in industrial automation, process control systems, building automation, and HVAC systems.RS232 CableWhat are the advantages of RS232?RS232 cables support short-distance communication (up to 15m) and are widely available on older computer systems. They have a simple and straightforward interface, making them easy to implement.What limitations may you come across with RS232?RS232 is limited in terms of data transfer rate and cannot support long-distance communication without signal degradation or additional repeaters. It is susceptible to noise interference, making it less suitable for industrial environments.What applications is RS232 cable most suitable for?RS232 is often used for point-to-point communication between a computer and peripherals such as modems, printers, and serial devices. For more information on this, check out our article on how RS232 cable can be used to connect legacy systems with modern technology.Ethernet CableWhat are the advantages of Ethernet?Ethernet provides high-speed data transfer rates (typically up to Gigabit or higher) and supports long-distance communication (up to 100m with standard Ethernet cables). It offers a standardised networking protocol and is widely used in LAN (Local Area Network) environments.What limitations may you come across with Ethernet?Ethernet requires more complex wiring and networking infrastructure compared to RS485 or RS232. It may not be as robust in harsh industrial environments, due to its sensitivity to electrical noise.What applications is Ethernet most suitable for?Ethernet is commonly used for computer networking, internet connectivity, IP-based cameras, and data-intensive applications.What is the compatibility between RS485, RS232 & Ethernet?RS232 and RS485 use different electrical signalling and voltage levels, so you cannot directly connect an RS232 cable to an RS485 device. You would need a converter or an RS232 to RS485 adapter to communicate between the two standards.Ethernet Cable vs. RS485: Ethernet cables, such as Cat5e or Cat6, cannot be directly used for RS485 communication. Ethernet cables have different wiring configurations and use different signalling methods compared to RS485. An appropriate RS485 cable or converter is needed for RS485 communication.Cat5e cables are commonly used for Ethernet networking, not RS485. However, with proper wiring configuration, Cat5e cables can be used for RS485 communication in some cases. It is important to follow the correct pinout and ensure the wiring matches the RS485 standard.In summary:RS485 is a suitable choice for long-distance and multi-drop communication in industrial environments RS232 is useful for short-distance point-to-point connections Ethernet excels in high-speed Local Area Network (LAN) If you have any questions that weren’t answered in this guide, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team.
