SIAMESE RG59CABLE

"Plug and Play?"

“Plug and Play” and Siamese RG59 Cable are two of the most popular cables used to power security cameras and digital video recorders. To discover which cable is right for your equipment, look at the user manual. In most cases, it will be very clear whether RG59 or “Plug and Play” is the right choice. A UL certified cable, Siamese RG59 is well-known as a consistent, streamlined power source. “Plug and Play” cables are color-coded and very simple to use, but they usually are not ideal for applications that demand more than 100 feet of cable.

Read below as we decipher the meaning behind Siamese RG59 and “Plug and Play” cable.

• Siamese cable is synonymous with durability. Typically sold in quantities of 500-1,000 feet, it connects the video cable with the power cable to streamline the powering process.


• “Plug and Play” cable features audio and video connections that are color-coded and extremely easy to install.


• By negating the need for separate wires, those who use Siamese RG59 are able to run it for long distances. This can save valuable installation time.


• Need an exact length for each camera? Cut Siamese cable to your specifications. You may need to strip the Siamese wire to reveal the coax portion. This is simple to achieve with a good stripping tool, and shouldn’t be regarded as a detriment to the product.


• “Plug and Play” cable is more “out of the box ready,” but can’t be personalized as much as Siamese RG59
