Backup Camera Cables - freewill2008 - 04-28-2005 03:05 I hafta pull some wires the length of our bus behind the overheads and would like to pull in what I need for a camera at the same time. (This bus didn't have a factory camera installed.) What kind of cabling do I need? I'm sitting on a bunch of coaxial RG62 cable with BNC connectors. Is that impedance close enough for a 35' run? Also, does the camera need a 12v power cable also? Thanks in advance. Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII WA Backup Camera Cables - Tim Hannink - 04-28-2005 03:20 The RG-62 with a standard BNC's should work, I would test it before installing it by doing a temporary connection with about 50-foot of it directly to the TV. You will also need an ignition-switched 12-volt signal wire.

You should use RG6 which is 75 ohms. Also make sure that the cable you buy has a good inner braided shield to eliminate interference from getting on the cable.

Backup Camera Cables - Tim Hannink - 04-28-2005 04:22 If I were going out and buying cable for this, I would recommend an RG-6 also, but since he has the RG-62 already, the run is under 50- feet and he can pre-test it before installing it, I don't see any problem with trying it. Worst case, it doesn't work and he has to go buy some RG-59/6. I have some extra RG-6 at home, I just ran two runs to the roof for a satellite dish connection. Let me know if you need any.

Depends on the camera, and you need 12 volt power...use a relay and tap into the bus in the back ceiling.....also, use a 4' length of electric fence post to run the wires. quarter inch diameter and non conductive fiberglass, make's it much easier.. > I'm sitting on a bunch of coaxial RG62 >cable with BNC connectors.
