Review on πŸ”Œ Five Star Cable RG59 1000 ft. Siamese Coaxial CCTV - Combo 20 AWG RG59 Video + 18/2 18AWG Power Cable in Black Color by Jhon Clark

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not exactly copper. Stay away if you have long runs

It says it has a braided copper power cord, but it's actually Cooper Clad Aluminum. I was hoping to run 200 feet but I couldn't because CCA cut the distance by about half and 200 was already close to running. The rg59 core also has CCA so it's easy to accidentally break when stripping the wire. The sheathing on the cable is also very bad, you often tear the OCA's power cable because it's just like hard plastic. I would happily pay $20 for real copper but the reviews said it was copper but for a while it was just a push into real copper and then switching to CCA so that was the bait and the switch.
