Belden Inc. 549945 0101000 RG59 2C18 Cmg Siamese Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 549945 0101000 is a siamese-configuration cable combining an RG59 coaxial core with a 2-conductor 18 AWG power pair in a single jacket rated CMG (Cable, Multipurpose, General). The RG59 coax handles video signal transmission while the paired 18 AWG conductors carry DC power to cameras or other low-voltage security devices. The CMG rating indicates suitability for general-purpose multipurpose installations. This cable is sold per unit quantity and is specified for solid unshielded security wiring applications. Security system integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers.

This siamese cable is designed for CCTV and analog video security installations where a single cable run must deliver both video signal and DC power to a camera. It is suited for residential and light commercial security system wiring where a CMG-rated cable meets the local code requirement. The solid conductor construction is intended for in-wall or conduit pulls rather than repeated flex applications. Category classification is Security Solid Unshielded.

Key Features

• Siamese construction combines RG59 coax and 2-conductor 18 AWG power pair in one jacket
• CMG jacket rating for general-purpose multipurpose cable installations
• Solid conductor construction suited for in-wall and conduit routing
• Single cable run delivers both video signal and DC power to end devices
• Classified under Security Solid Unshielded category for structured security wiring

Compatibility

Designed as a standard siamese RG59 plus 2-conductor power cable for analog CCTV and low-voltage security camera installations requiring CMG-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 820 for coaxial cable and Article 725 for the power pair. De-energize all power supplies before terminating conductors. Solid-core construction is not rated for repeated bending or flex service, so avoid routing in areas subject to continuous movement. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to protect the coaxial center conductor.
