HOW SIAMESE CABLE WORKS

Imagine a large office building that you would label “secure.” You are likely envisioning multiple security cameras placed in strategic locations that guard a visitor’s every move. Those cameras are powered by Siamese Cable, which reduces the need for multiple runs of wires by offering a single wire pull to each location. Siamese cable negates the need for superfluous wires, and that in turn means lower costs and easier installation.

Siamese cable works due to a combination of conduction and simple, old-fashioned teamwork. Slice any of the many Siamese cables in half through their PVC jacket, and you’ll likely notice an RG-59 Coax cable (there are others available, but RG-59 is quite popular) and two 18 AWG power wires. These are nicely packaged together inside the PVC, ready to fulfill their purpose collectively.

It’s a one-cable-fits-all idea, and it’s one that works. Though not inherently weatherproof, Siamese cable works well in dry indoor areas. A delicate cable product, it will cease to work if trampled or crushed, so it’s to a user’s best advantage to tuck the cables well out of the way of foot traffic. Unlike welding cable with its sturdy, “I’ll take anything” attitude, Siamese cable is relatively delicate.
