CCTV cable question..

[MasterAbacus]

Hi guys, ive installed many systems, using Coax and cat5e, but ive been hit with a dilema....

Ive been asked to install some cctv cameras but need to use really thin cable.

Cat5e is too thick, 4 pairs too...

Coax only carries the data normally.

What i need is a thin 2 pair cable for cctv...

1 pair for the data
1 pair for the power (12v)


Any pointers or ideas would be good.

You could use twin or triple coax cable such as S-video.

RS components 252 0231 is a twin.

I have used Beldon screened 2 pair for some cameras on short-ish runs before with no problems. Not as good as coax, but does the job.
