alterEGO Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We use built in UTP on most cameras, so cat5 right into camera housing. But yes power and video on cat5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ah right, I know the sort you mean, some run off 24VAC which is nice when using Cat5 So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It was a shock to the system the other day specifying rg59 on a hdsdi job, so used to cat5 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo66 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 "makes installation simple" So, hands up those amongst us who carry a punch down tool with them along with their trusty side cutters and termy? correct me if I am wrong, but I think snapping the cover shut terminates the cable? Agree with others about strain relief, unless the little flap over the cable at the entry of the balun does anything. I too fold the cores back over and tape to the balun, but tape doesnt last very long in warm environments and always looks abit mickey mouse hanging out the back of a dvr.

If that's the case then fair enough, but i wouldn't trust it. I do like the idea mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I have ripped out lots of old sky wiring of late and they seem to use a 'snap shut' adaptor. To my amazement its actually well made and very useful for temporary connections. Looks like this works on the same principle.
