Hey Guys,
I have this installation coming up soon wherein I have to lay four cable runs each of which is approximately 1,500 linear feet. In previous installations I have noticed strange picture aberrations which I suppose are do in part to excessive cable runs. Usually, I can get by with using RG59 coaxial cable as my transmission medium but I do not believe it wise to utilize this cable type for this installation as my installer friends have informed me of the cables shortcomings (max. cable run of 350 meters). I love working with RG59 and would prefer using the rest of my supplies for this installation. Can someone advise on a means of signal boosting without attenuation? Do there exist products which can safely boost composite video signal gain without introducing unwanted noise into my clients picture. If so, what is/are the manufacture(s) and, just how do they work? Any an all help appreciated.
P.S.-Hey, when can we start to see other types of cable such as RG11, CAT5 & 6, etc. I mean I would definitely be interested in purchasing some RG11, especially at your prices; I heard it is nearly twice as efficient at propagating the required 1Vp-p composite video signal.
Thanks,
Dr. CCTV
