Re: RG59 direct burial siamese

["Just Looking" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If the run is only 300 feet why use RG 59? That run is short enough to use
IP camera with a PoE switch or mid-span injector and not need the 18/2 on
the Siamese or the RG 59. You could use a better camera, like an HD
Megapixel instead of 640X480 4CIF, especially if cost is not a concern as
you say.

I'm looking for direct burial for about 300 feet at the most, so steel
core would still work. And I'm not actually concerened about WHAT it
cost ....( the customer will pay for what ever it is)  just that there
seems to be a big difference in cost between the same items.
