2. When you install a CCTV system, the choice of cable is just as important
as the camera itself. The right cable ensures clear video, stable
performance, and proper coverage. Let’s look at the main cables used in
CCTV installations.
TYPES OF CABLE

3. CABLE
COAXIAL
UTP
(CAT5E / CAT6)
FIBER OPTIC POWER

4. Traditional choice for analog CCTV
Siamese version combines video +
power
Transmission distance: up to 300m
(without amplifier)
Cost-effective and reliable for small to
medium projects
COAXIAL CABLE

5. Analog CCTV can also run on
CAT5/CAT6 (network) cables using
small video adapters.
Supports IP cameras using PoE (Power
over Ethernet)
Range: 100m per run without extender
Lightweight, flexible, and easy to install
UTP CABLE (CAT5E / CAT6)

6. Transmits data as light signals
Immune to electromagnetic
interference
Very high bandwidth, ideal for long-
distance projects
Common in airports, highways,
campuses, and industries
FIBER OPTIC CABLE

7. 2-core copper wire (0.5mm–1mm thick)
Provides power for cameras without
PoE
Thickness depends on distance &
power requirement
POWER CABLE

8. CONCLUSION
Coaxial, UTP, Fiber Optic, and Power cables each serve unique purposes.
Selecting the correct cable enhances video quality and reduces maintenance.
Always plan cabling as carefully as you choose your cameras.
