RG59 CCTV Cable 20m BNC Video with DC Power Shotgun Lead for Camera to DVR

A 20m RG59 shotgun lead is a ready-made cable that carries both the picture and the power a CCTV camera needs, in one pull, with the plugs already fitted.

What it does

It joins a single camera to your DVR or NVR using 75Ω RG59 coax for video and a parallel 2-core DC power cable bonded together (shotgun style), so you're pulling one cable instead of two.

Connections

• Video: BNC male plugs at both ends — push straight onto the camera's BNC output and the recorder's BNC input, no crimping needed.
• Power: red/black DC pair, ending in a 2.1mm DC barrel plug at the camera end and a socket or bare tails at the recorder end, for wiring to a shared 12VDC power supply.
• Jacket: black PVC outer with moulded strain relief at the connectors, where handling stress is highest.

Format compatibility

The coax carries analogue CVBS, HD-TVI, AHD and CVI signals — worth checking that your camera and recorder use one of these before ordering, since the cable itself doesn't convert between formats.

Where it's used

Suited to medium-distance runs in a house or small commercial site — connecting bullet, dome or turret cameras back to a DVR, or extending from a junction box where power is centralised. If a run flickers or drops out at night, it's often a power issue (long runs and IR draw can cause voltage drop) rather than the cable itself — check the PSU rating first.
