RG59 400ft Solid Copper Core Coax CCTV Cable - 95% Braid

In this review of the RG59 400ft Solid Copper Core Coax CCTV Cable from PHAT SATELLITE INTL, the bottom line is simple: this cable is aimed at installers and DIYers who need a long, professional-grade run for analog and HD camera systems and value solid copper conductors and a heavy braid. The reviewer found it most compelling for projects that require a single continuous 400ft Siamese run with open-to-open power conductors and metal compression BNC connectors pre-assembled, and notes that mixed customer feedback about quality control means buyers should inspect the order on arrival.

Key Features

• Solid copper core: Provides consistent signal conductivity for TVI, CVI, AHD and HD-SDI camera formats over long runs.
• 95% braided shield: Reduces interference and maintains video clarity on installations near electrical noise sources.
• Siamese dual cable: Combines coax and power conductors in one jacket so run routing and installation are simpler and neater.
• 20AWG power conductors: Thicker power wires support reliable camera power delivery across the full 400ft length when planned correctly.
• Metal BNC compression connectors: Assembled with 1mm metal BNC compression connectors to give a solid mechanical and electrical connection at each end.
• Custom cut and assembled in USA INTL: Arrives ready to install as an open-to-open power and video assembly for quick field termination.

Who It's For

This cable is best for professional security installers, small business owners, and advanced DIYers who need a long run of reliable RG-59 coax for analog HD camera systems and prefer a Siamese cable that includes both video and power conductors. The solid copper core and heavy braid suit longer runs where signal integrity matters and where compression BNCs are preferred for durability.

It is less suitable for projects that require very short runs where a cheaper cable would suffice, or for buyers in restricted shipping zones, since the product is not available to ship to certain military addresses and all US territories. Buyers who need a different gauge, a different connector type, or single conductor power may want to look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid copper core and 95% braid improve video stability on TVI/CVI/AHD systems.
• Siamese design simplifies running both video and power together in one jacket.
• Pre-assembled metal BNC compression connectors save time and provide a secure fit.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed quality control, so inspect connectors and jacket on arrival.
• Not available to ship to certain military addresses and US territories, which limits where it can be sent.

Our Verdict

The RG59 400ft solid copper coax is a sensible choice for installers who need a long, tidy Siamese run with robust shielding and pre-assembled metal BNCs; it offers clear value when signal integrity and readiness to install matter. Be mindful of reported quality control variability and shipping restrictions, but for many security camera projects this cable delivers the features most professionals expect at a practical price.
