Genesis Cable 50131008 RG59 Bc 18/2 Cctv Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 50131008 is an RG59 Bare Copper (BC) coaxial cable with an integrated 18 AWG 2-conductor power pair, supplied on a 1000-foot roll in black. This combination cable is built for CCTV and security camera installations where both video signal and DC power must be run to each camera in a single cable pull. The RG59 coax carries the analog or HD-over-coax video signal, while the 18/2 power conductors supply voltage to the camera — eliminating the need for a separate power run. Security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade professionals who work with this cable type.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial security camera systems. It is commonly used with analog CCTV cameras, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and AHD cameras that operate over RG59 infrastructure. The 1000-foot roll format supports larger projects where multiple camera drops are pulled from a central distribution point, reducing material handling and connector waste during rough-in.

Key Features

• RG59 coaxial core with bare copper center conductor for reliable video signal transmission
• Integrated 18 AWG 2-conductor power pair eliminates separate DC power runs
• 1000-foot roll suitable for multi-camera commercial and residential installations
• Black jacket for in-wall, conduit, or concealed routing applications
• Shielded coaxial construction reduces interference and signal degradation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RG59 siamese-style combination cable for use with analog CCTV and HD-over-coax camera systems requiring co-located video and DC power conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified security systems installer in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 820 for coaxial cable wiring. De-energize all power supplies before terminating the 18/2 power conductors. Use appropriate compression or twist-on BNC connectors for the coax termination and ensure the power pair polarity is maintained consistently across all camera drops. Avoid sharp bends and staple over-drives that can deform the coax geometry and degrade signal quality.
