I wouldn't leave it in a coil, but loosely stuffed behind the cabinet, or the like, should do. A coil will have the tendency to pick up noise like an antenna does.
Is the cable UL rated for in-wall to be safely run through and inside walls? Also Is the The cable jacket material fire resistant?

BEST ANSWER:I didn’t see any UL rating. However, it is my understanding that you can run any low voltage cable through the walls but not in a Plenum space (where the HVAC takes in that air) as this is not plenum jacketed cable. It is absolutely not fire rated.

I have to say, I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this cable. A run this far might cause signal loss, or distortion. I'm happy to say that the picture was as good as my 6ft test cable.
I also purchased some DC power pigtail plugs (Monoprice P/N:6880 and 6881). These make wiring simple as they mate with the power ends on the CCTV cable.
Would be great if Monoprice sold these in a wider variety of lengths in 25ft increments. The cables only come in 50ft and 100ft lengths, and if you only need 65 feet for your run, you have a lot of extra cable to loop up and hide. Just a thought.
i have used the many times and never had a problem, these are far thicker then the cheap, that nes somesystems come with and thus have better/clearer video over longer distances

CCTV Siamese Cable
Very good product. Quick delivery. Would recommend to a friend
After reading reviews and against my better judgment, I opted to try the cables. The cables did not work. The powering wires work but will not play video. Of course I had already ran the cables through drop ceiling and fished walls before realizing that they did not work. I bought screw on BNC to coax connectors as a fall back plan. These connectors worked as should with rg6 coax. Buyer beware!!!!

Truly sorry to hear PID 9908 is not functioning. For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried testing the cable with another camera or connecting to a different BNC port to see if anything changes? I see you already have an RMA in place, please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Cable quality looks good but the video image is poor
The price was good, and the quality of the cable is good. I was concerned before I bought whether the cable would be too flimsy to feed through the attic without breaking, but they are sturdier than I expected. The problem is the video quality. It has to be the cables because the 2 bad cameras out of 8 use this cable. I spent a lot of money to have someone route these cables and I've thrown it all away. I'll probably have to buy new, better cables and hire a guy to do it all again. Not recommended.
Thank you for your review. And I am truly sorry to hear of your experience you have had with this product. For now, if you prefer, I can assist you in setting you up for a replacement on the item if you haven't done so already. We do have a lifetime warranty on cables as well as a 1 year warranty for everything else. It will be of no additional cost to obtain a replacement, so please let me know if you want to continue. I would just require your order# to set it up. Thank you!
