Introduction to the SFX RG59/PRO 100 m Solid Copper CCTV Cable
SFX RG59/PRO — 100 m reelof 75 Ω RG59 coaxial CCTV cable is a purpose-built cable for analogue and HD-over-coax video surveillance systems. Supplied on a convenient 100 m installer reel, this cable features a solid copper central conductor and multi-layer shielding designed to give lower attenuation and improved signal integrity compared with CCA (copper-clad aluminium) alternatives. It is offered with either a PVC or LSZH outer jacket to suit different installation environments.

Detailed specifications and benefits
The SFX RG59/PRO uses a solid copper central conductor (specified as 1/0.58 Cu). A true solid-copper core reduces DC resistance and high-frequency attenuation compared with CCA constructions, which improves video signal quality, particularly on longer runs. The cable is 75 and therefore compatible with standard analogue CCTV and HD-over-coax formats such as CVI, TVI and AHD.
The shielding is a copper-coated steel braid. This construction delivers a balance of mechanical strength and electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection. The braid helps reject noise from nearby power cables, radio sources and switching electronics, giving flatter frequency response and improved signal-to-noise ratio for video feeds.
Customers can choose between a standard PVC jacket or an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. LSZH is recommended for enclosed, public or internal spaces where reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of fire are required. PVC is a cost-effective option for protected indoor installations. The product data supplied does not include explicit UV, weather or outdoor ratings, so do not assume the reel is suitable for exposed outdoor use without confirming the specific jacket variant and supplier confirmation.
- 100 m installer reel: convenient for running multiple camera points or longer runs without frequent joins.
- Lower attenuation: solid copper core improves video quality over distance compared with CCA cables, reducing the need for repeaters or boosters on many common runs.
- Mechanical robustness: copper-coated steel braid offers improved tensile strength compared with pure-copper braid alternatives in some designs, which helps during pulling and site handling.
- Compatibility: 75 makes it suitable for a broad range of legacy and modern surveillance formats and many power-over-coax setups.
Use cases and scenarios where this cable excels
For homes, retail premises and small offices, the RG59/PRO is a practical choice where runs are typically under the distances where RG59 performance is limiting. The solid copper core and improved shielding help produce clear analogue and HD video images with reduced noise from nearby electronics.
The 100 m installer reel is popular with professional installers and DIYers because it reduces the number of joins and allows continuous runs to multiple camera positions. The reel format simplifies cable management on site and speeds deployment compared with buying shorter pre-cut lengths.
Choose the LSZH jacket option for installations in stairwells, corridors, communal areas or other enclosed public spaces where building codes or customer preferences require low-smoke materials. For conventional indoor installs where LSZH is not necessary, PVC remains a cost-effective option.
The solid copper conductor and 75 impedance make this cable suitable for systems that deliver both video and power over the coax pair, provided the overall system design and distance limits are respected. Always verify the specific PoC requirements of your cameras and recorders before committing to cable lengths.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
One common marketplace distinction is between solid copper conductors and CCA. CCA cables have an aluminium core plated with copper and are typically cheaper and lighter. However, they have higher DC resistance and greater high-frequency attenuation than solid copper, which can degrade signal quality over longer runs and may increase susceptibility to loss in PoC configurations. The SFX RG59/PRO’s solid copper core offers lower loss and usually better long-term reliability — especially where longer cable runs or higher bandwidth HD-over-coax formats are used.
RG6 cables have a larger conductor and different characteristic impedance characteristics in some constructions, and are often used where longer runs or satellite TV applications demand lower attenuation. For many CCTV and HD-over-coax installations RG59 remains the standard due to its size, flexibility and connector compatibility. If your installation requires very long runs or you have specific bandwidth or shielding needs, consider discussing RG6 or specialist low-loss surveillance cables with your supplier.
The SFX RG59/PRO uses a copper-coated steel braid which trades off some conductivity for improved mechanical strength. Other market cables may use tinned copper braid, foil + braid combinations, or higher braid coverage percentages. For installations in electrically noisy environments (near industrial equipment, fluorescent lighting or radio transmitters), higher braid coverage and combination foil + braid shielding can produce marginally better rejection of interference, but at increased cost. The RG59/PRO gives a balanced, cost-effective level of shielding suitable for most indoor surveillance needs.

Conclusion: Why choose the SFX RG59/PRO 100 m reel?
If you need a reliable, cost-effective coaxial cable for analogue and HD-over-coax CCTV systems, the SFX RG59/PRO 100 m reel is a strong option. Its solid copper central conductor reduces attenuation versus CCA alternatives, the copper-coated steel braid provides robust shielding and mechanical strength, and the 100 m installer reel format suits both DIY and professional installers. The option of PVC or LSZH jackets makes the cable adaptable to different indoor environments, provided you confirm the correct jacket for your site.
Before purchasing, verify outdoor suitability, warranty terms and any compliance markings with the supplier. If you require higher braid coverage, combined foil + braid shielding, or specific outdoor/UV-rated jackets, compare technical datasheets across product lines. For many internal and protected-site CCTV installations, however, the SFX RG59/PRO delivers a balanced mix of performance, practicality and value.
