Product Description

12V DC / 24V AC Low Voltage CCTV Power Wire

CCTV cameras typically use 12V DC or 24VAC power supplies. Some security cameras are dual voltage which means that they can be powered by either 12V DC or 24V AC. AC and DC low voltage power supplies have limitations as to how far cable can be run before the voltage drops too low for your device to use. The maximum length that cable can be run for low voltage power varies based on these factors.

1. Does your camera require 12 volt DC or 24 volt AC power?
2. How much power does the device require? CCTV cameras usually have a maximum power required that is documented in the camera's specification.

3. This is normally specified in amps / milli-amps (mA). For example: DC 500mA, DC 1A. (1 amp = 1000 mA)
What size cable are you using? For example: 18 gauge, 16 gauge, 22 gauge, etc. Note: cable size is specified in AWG which stands for "American Wire Gauge".
 
Power to 24VAC Cameras Can be Run Further than 12V DC Cameras
If you need to run cable from your power supply to your security camera farther, you should consider using 24VAC, instead of 12V DC. Dual voltage cameras are the solution.

FAQ

AC Cable Vs. DC Cable – Can We Substitute?
So, can you use DC cables instead of its AC counterpart? Well, the answer is: It depends. The two main differences to consider, when deciding on the substitution, are Voltage and Current. The thickness and type of insulation determines the maximum voltage allowed for the application. On the other hand, the amount of current that the cable will carry will determine the thickness and type of material that the cable is made from. By way of example, it is ill-advised to substitute a cable built for a 5V, 1A DC application for an application designed to power an 220v, 5A AC device. The result? Due to excessively high current, it is likely to cause the cable to melt. This may also be a fire hazard.

 

So, the general principle of any such substitution of AC for DC cable is that that it's ok to do when using the substituted cable at a lower voltage than rated. However, for cables of smaller diameters, there's no significant difference between Direct Current and low-frequency Alternating Current. In such cases, any substitution should have minimal impact on the application.If the ratings are the same, or closely similar, then substituting an AC cable with a DC one might not matter. Bottom line: Depending on the application and the environment, you might be able to use DC power cables instead of AC.  However, doing so might draw more current which leads to higher losses.

 

12V DC Power Drop / Max Cable Distance Chart

The below DC voltage drop cable distance chart works as follows. The left column notes the amount of power that the device you are powering requires (red text). The "mA" after the number stands for milli-amps. For example, say you are using a CCTV camera that requires max 300mA. Using 18 gauge power cable, you can run your cable up to 289 feet.

	24 AWG	22 AWG	20 AWG	18 AWG	16 AWG	14 AWG	12 AWG
DC 100mA	216 feet	342 feet	594 feet	867 feet	1,379 feet	2,197 feet	3,508 feet
DC 200mA	108 feet	171 feet	297 feet	433 feet	689 feet	1,098 feet	1,755 feet
DC 300mA	72 feet	113 feet	198 feet	289 feet	459 feet	732 feet	1,169 feet
DC 400mA	54 feet	85 feet	148 feet	216 feet	344 feet	549 feet	877 feet
DC 500mA	43 feet	68 feet	119 feet	173 feet	275 feet	439 feet	701 feet
DC 750mA	28 feet	45 feet	79 feet	115 feet	183 feet	293 feet	467 feet
DC 1000mA	21 feet	34 feet	59 feet	86 feet	137 feet	219 feet	350 feet

24V AC Power Drop / Max Cable Distance Chart

The AC voltage drop cable distance chart works the same way as the DC one. However, most 24VAC power supplies are measured in voltage amps ("VA"), or watts. Voltage amps / watts can be converted to milli-amps. You can use this voltage to watts conversion tool if the value you need is not in the below chart. We have provided the conversion for you below the VA value in the column on the left. For example, 10VA is the same as 417mA.

Using the below chart, you can see that if you are using a AC powered or dual voltage security camera that requires up to 417mA of power, you run 18 gauge power cable up to 451 feet.

	24 AWG	22 AWG	20 AWG	18 AWG	16 AWG	14 AWG	12 AWG
10 VA (417mA)	103 feet	283 feet	286 feet	451 feet	716 feet	1,142 feet	1,811 feet
20 VA (833mA)	52 feet	141 feet	142 feet	225 feet	358 feet	571 feet	905 feet
30 VA (1,250mA)	34 feet	94 feet	95 feet	150 feet	238 feet	380 feet	603 feet
40 VA (1,667mA)	26 feet	70 feet	71 feet	112 feet	179 feet	285 feet	452 feet
50 VA (2,083mA)	20 feet	56 feet	57 feet	90 feet	143 feet	228 feet	362 feet
