Q: QuestionHow many cables can i connect together?

Asked 3 years ago by Ryan.

• A:Answer Hi Ryan. BNC cables are generally good to about 300ft. You can connect multiple cables together but the more you connect, the more likely that you may start to see some interference type problems from all the joins. Generally we'd recommend just using one or two cable lengths for the best performance. -SD, Swann team.
