Hi All

What is the standard type of cable you would use to power speed domes?

I use alarm cable for 12v cameras would i still use this???

Which dome type and where are you fitting the PSU Locally or Remote what distance is involved?

I take it you are ok with the data cabling?

I am fitting the PSU in a switch room about 20m - 30m away and the cameras are JVC

JVC reccomend that use a cable of 1mm or greater diameter for up to 100metres, I would use a two core flexible mains type cable.

if your psu has output for dome and heater i would use 1.5mm 4 core mains flex. A pair for each, that way if you loose one u wont loose the other.

and i would use 2.5mm 40 core mains flex. A (couple of) pair ('s) ( and few extra ) for each. that way if you loose one ( ore ten ) you wont loose the rest.

any cable somehow flexible will do if its cores has enough diameter. 1.5mm2 is enough indeed with cable lenght of 20-30m

housty.. from where are you? didn't know that meter is an imperial unit..!!??

and you would need a team to put it on the cable jacks and run it off.

40 core

.75 is probably the biggest I would use, Really you want to look at the maximum current drawn from the device you are powering, and the maximum current the power supply can provide then use a suitable cable to carry the power.

I'd probably use 2 or 3 core .5 or .75 flex.

40 core

but at least i would have some spare ones.. just for case.. like tsunami or plain earthquake.... or crazy Finn........ or .... - something..?

and you can always put all the shoot on to apprentices

F.. next time i'll make it 400 core..

The manufacturer reccomends:

If you dont use the cable that the manufacturer specifies as a minimum, you will get into warranty problems if it ever goes wrong.
