    Just replaced my backyard cam with a Dahua IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV 180 degree view camera. The cable runs thru the attic and is probably 100ft long. it's an el cheapo Amazon Basics flat cable. Camera is connected to a POE+ HP switch. It works just fine but I'm concerned that the cable won't be...
