Reliable CCTV cabling when projects can’t wait
When you need CCTV leads that arrive quickly, install cleanly and last in local conditions, choice and availability matter more than a price line. Communica stocks a wide range of CCTV leads - RG59/RG6 BNC coax assemblies, pre-terminated Ethernet (CAT5e/CAT6) with PoE support, 12V/24V power pigtails and bundled multicore runs - so installers, campuses and security teams in South Africa can finish installs on schedule with VAT invoices and branch collection options.
Why local stock speeds your install
Lead times from overseas can delay commissioning. We keep common lengths and connector types on the shelf at our Samrand head office and Pretoria branch for same-day collection or next-day delivery to major centres. Prefer to confirm before you travel? Check branch hours and collection options on our Branches & Trading Hours.
Core cable types stocked
- Coax CCTV leads (RG59, RG6) with soldered or crimped BNCs - for legacy analogue HD and SDI cameras.
- Pre-terminated Ethernet patch leads (CAT5e, CAT6) and bulk cable for PoE IP cameras.
- Power leads and splitter cables for single-rail 12V/24V camera systems.
Quick spec comparison
| Cable | Typical use | Max run (practical) | Connector |
|---|---|---|---|
| RG59 | Analogue & HD-CVI | ~200m with amp | BNC |
| RG6 | Higher bandwidth SDI/HD | ~300m | BNC |
| CAT5e | IP cameras (PoE) | 100m per run | RJ45 |
| CAT6 | High-performance PoE/PoE+ | 100m, better noise margin | RJ45 |
This table highlights practical ranges; actual performance depends on camera resolution, encoder quality and whether PoE midspans are used. For a deeper look at compatible hardware and brands we carry, explore our Collections and Shop by Brand.
Specification callouts to check before you buy
- Connector fit: crimp vs soldered BNC - crimped is faster onsite; soldered is a more permanent joint.
- Shielding and braid percentage for coax - higher braid can reduce interference in electrically noisy environments.
- PoE class and cable AWG for power budgets - use CAT6 for longer PoE+ runs or higher-power cameras.
