Monoprice 115409 RG59 CCTV Coaxial Cable with Power

The Monoprice 115409 is a 1,000-foot bulk spool of RG59 coaxial cable with integrated 2×18AWG power conductors — the standard composite cable format for CCTV security camera installations. The RG59 portion runs a 22AWG CCA (copper-clad aluminum) center conductor through foamed polyethylene dielectric at a 75-ohm characteristic impedance, then wraps it in a 100% aluminum/poly tape inner shield and an 85% tin/copper braid outer shield. That dual-layer shielding stack is the key spec for CCTV deployments: it provides strong EMI rejection when cables run parallel to AC power lines inside walls, which is the single most common cause of interference banding in security camera footage. The CMR/CATVR fire rating qualifies the cable for riser installation — vertical runs through wall cavities between floors — in code-compliant commercial and residential projects.

This cable is engineered for the professional security installer or the advanced DIY builder running a multi-camera analog or HD-over-coax system throughout a building. One cable pull delivers both video signal and 12VDC camera power, which is the primary labor-saving value: in a 16-camera installation, eliminating 16 separate power cable runs is a meaningful reduction in labor time and wall penetrations. The practical constraint is the CCA center conductor: signal attenuation at HD-over-coax frequencies (AHD/TVI/CVI 1080p) becomes meaningful beyond 200 feet, and installers who need longer runs should spec bare-copper RG59 for those drops. For runs under 200 feet — the majority of typical building installations — this cable performs at specification without compromise.
