■ KX Coaxial Cable – Reliable 75 Ohm Solution for CCTV & Analog Video Transmission

If it is a basic home or business monitoring setup that requires reliable, distortion-free video signals, KX coaxial cables promise reliable analog video transmission. Our offered KX6 and KX8 models are 75 Ohm coaxial cables specifically made for the transfer of analog video signals. They are compatible with CCTV camera systems, Digital Video Recorders, monitors, and CATV networks. In comparison with other cables, the KX series products are specifically designed to maintain or enhance the quality and integrity of the transmitted signals in the real environment.

■ Digging into the Tech: Why Do KX Cables Achieve Such Exceptional Performance?

At the inner layers of KX cable lies the carefully designed 75 Ohm impedance. This is the recommended industry standard for such format, meaning these cords transfer signals devoid of distortion or reflection.

For the central conductor, either a bare copper or copper-clad aluminum (CCA), specified in 7 thin wires (e.g., 7×0.2mm for KX6, 7×0.4mm for KX8). It gives a mixed benefit of flexibility and conductivity.

The dielectric is composed of tightly packed solid polyethylene (PE). This material allows the electrical factors to be maintained and leads to the decreased signal loss.

Shielding matters too. Similarly, KX6 and KX8 have 90% copper or CCA braid coverage. That’s sufficient for shielding against most adjacent electromagnetic noise from light, motors, or wiring—routinely encountered in practical applications.

The outer PVC jacket meets moisture, abrasion, and UV exposure (important for outdoor runs). Capacitance remains zero, at about 67 pF/m, which is good for retaining high-quality video longer even over extended distances.

■ Choosing & Buying the Right KX Cable

Not all installations are the same. Your choice between KX6 and KX8 depends on distance, environment, and budget.

 Key buying tips:

• For indoor security cameras (e.g., retail stores, offices): KX6 is lighter, easier to route through walls, and cost-effective.

• With outdoor or long spans (like parking lots, perimeter fences): Opt for KX8, which has a thicker conductor decreasing resistance and ensuring that the signal is sustained bold over a distance of over 400m.

KX cables are available for sale for the meter or in pre-cut rolls (100m, 300m, 500m). Be careful with selecting model type—7100432 (KX6 Cu) or 7100434 (KX8 Cu)—so that you can confirm the type of conductor and braiding.

■ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use KX6 for a 350-meter CCTV run?

A: Not recommended. KX6 starts losing signal quality beyond 300 meters. For 350m, switch to KX8. It has lower resistance and better shielding for that range.

Q2: KX cable in my RG59 based system: Is it compatible?

Yes. They share the 75 Ohm standard, hence connectors (like BNC) and devices are the same. Nevertheless KX6 generally outperforms RG59 because of its higher specification and its improved shielding (90% vs. RG59’s typical 60–70%).

Q3: Can KX cables carry power for cameras (Siamese cable)?

Q4: In order to determine whether my KX cable is functional, which method do I take?

Use a coax cable tester or a simple continuity checker. For video quality, connect a camera and watch for noise, flicker, or color distortion. If the image is clean at full distance, your cable is doing its job.

Q5: KX cables valid for HD-over-Coax systems are (AHD, TVI, CVI)?

Yes. Regardless how HD these analog formats are, they still remain in the range of 75 Ohm coax cables and are suitable for both KX6 or KX8—especially KX8 if the distance is more 200m. But it is necessary to check that your DVR and camera both embrace the same HD-over-Coax format.

■ The Last Words

KX coaxial cables make analog video devices comparatively affordable, proper efficiency, and reliability. Not luxury but they could help to eliminate problems as multiplicity of signal, noise interference, and installation complexity.

Whether you are wiring a small store or a big facility, selecting the correct KX type—KX6 for shorter indoors jobs and KX8 for longer outdoors lines—will allow your setup to start with increased reliability.

Standardized 75 Ohm specifications allow for easy integration of existing CCTV and CATV equipment. There’s no room for guessing here. It’s all crystal clear, every time.
