I have just installed one of these systems, to extend the cable you can use cat 5e, we were able to do this at 150-200 ft. with no interference or video loss. Make sure you crimp the ends the same color scheme on both sides, or in your case one side needs to be a female connector (just a female rj11 or rj45 jack will work). or you can just use cat 5 from the camera to the dvr or quad unit or whatever you connecting to, omitting the smaller cable.

:cool:
