PHAT SATELLITE 450ft 20AWG RG59 Coax Cable - Security Camera

In this review of the PHAT SATELLITE 450ft 20AWG RG59 coax cable the bottom line is clear: this cable is aimed at installers and advanced DIYers who need a long, professional grade siamese run for CCTV and HD camera systems. The reviewer found the combination of a solid copper core 20AWG power conductors and 95% braided shielding delivers dependable signal integrity over long runs, while the open-to-open power conductors make custom terminations straightforward for on-site assembly. This is a practical, no-frills cable built for reliable video and power delivery.

Key Features

• 450ft length: Provides a single long run that fits typical residential and small commercial installations without splicing.
• 20AWG solid copper core: The heavier power conductors reduce voltage drop and support reliable camera power at distance.
• RG59 coax with 95% braid: High braid coverage improves shielding against interference for TVI, CVI, AHD and HD-SDI signals.
• Siamese (dual) construction: Combined video and power conductors keep cable runs neat and make routing simpler during installation.
• BNC connector option: Metal compression BNC connectors are available for secure, low-loss video terminations.
• Open to open power conductors: Bare power ends let installers choose their preferred connector or direct screw/terminal hook-up.

Who It's For

The cable is best suited to security professionals, installers and experienced DIYers who assemble or custom cut runs in the field and need a reliable siamese cable for analog HD systems. It performs well with TVI, CVI, AHD and HD-SDI cameras where shielding and copper core power conductors matter.

It is not for buyers who need short pre-terminated patch leads, indoor decorative runs only, or delivery to restricted US territories and military addresses since shipping exclusions apply. Casual users who want plug-and-play pre-terminated cables may prefer a different product.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid copper 20AWG power conductors provide better power delivery over long runs.
• 95% braided RG59 shielding helps maintain signal quality for HD CCTV formats.
• Siamese design and open power ends allow flexible on-site termination and neat installs.

Cons

• Not suitable for buyers needing factory-terminated connectors at both ends unless assembled separately.
• Cannot be shipped to certain US territories and military APO/FPO addresses, limiting availability for some customers.
