RG59-18/2 Siamese Cable CMP White 1000FT by UNC GROUP
The UNC GROUP RG59-18/2 siamese cable delivers reliable combined video and power transmission in a single, space-efficient cable run. This CMP-rated white jacket cable comes in a full 1000-foot spool, making it ideal for large-scale security camera installations, surveillance systems, and professional video distribution networks. The integrated 18/2 power conductor eliminates the need for separate power lines, reducing installation complexity and material costs while maintaining signal integrity.
Perfect for integrators, security professionals, and system designers who need a versatile siamese cable solution that meets fire safety codes and handles demanding commercial applications. The CMP rating ensures compliance with building safety standards, while the generous 1000FT length minimizes splice points and labor time on extensive projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a siamese cable used for?
A siamese cable combines video and power transmission in a single run, eliminating the need for separate coax and power cables. This reduces installation time, material costs, and clutter in cable trays and conduit, making it ideal for security camera systems and professional video applications.
Is RG59-18/2 siamese cable suitable for long-distance runs?
Yes. The RG59-18/2 configuration is designed for medium-distance video transmission with integrated power delivery. The 1000-foot spool length minimizes signal degradation by reducing splice points. For runs exceeding 1000 feet, plan for intermediate power injection or signal amplification.
What does CMP rating mean for cable?
CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces (air return paths above drop ceilings). CMP-rated cables produce minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to fire, making them compliant with building codes in commercial and institutional environments.
Can I use this white siamese cable outdoors?
While the CMP white jacket provides UV resistance, this cable is primarily rated for indoor and protected outdoor installations. For extended outdoor exposure, consider UV-protective conduit or outdoor-rated alternatives to maximize cable lifespan and maintain signal integrity.
