A technician is required to set up a high-resolution surveillance monitor that will be connected to a security camera system using the longest possible cable length without signal degradation. Which of the following video cable types would be the BEST option for this scenario?
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cables offer high resolutions for video display, but they are typically limited to shorter runs before signal degradation occurs. DisplayPort has similar limitations in terms of cable length. Coaxial cables, however, are well-known for their ability to carry signals over much longer distances without significant loss of quality, which makes them ideal for situations where the video feed must be run over longer distances, such as in surveillance setups. Given the scenario's requirement for long cable length without signal degradation, coaxial is the best choice.
