Great drawing KDR!

I am sure that will be Helpful to anyone extending a wired camera! I find it helpful just knowing it's here next time a chipmunk chews through my extention.

Guess I was a day late and a dollar short on a question a few days ago.  My apologies.  Anyone know if there are any restrictions on listing some of the wire that I have on this site.  Once I hear, I will provide more info.  Tks

Just finished tinkering again.  Get good reception with 200 feet of extended wire and connector.  But seems like there is a little color loss with 400 feet.  Any questions email me, email address is on my profile.  Good luck to everyone with their attempts to improve.  Also, don't have any idea about audio, I did not order the receiver/audio transmitter that  one needs with the wired camera.

The other thing you have to take into consideration when increasing the length of a video signal
cable, is not the guage of the conductors, but the impedance of the cable used, and the line loss over how many feet
of extending.

For example, you don't want to increase the length of a cable TV connection with 50 ohm (CB radio coax),
as TV signal systems utilize 75 ohm cable. 

Just some thoughts to ponder.

Also how the wire is run. You don't want to run it side by side with 20 or more feet of 120VAC romex. I picked 20 as just a number. I have not tested running it along side any house wiring.
