Answer
It should be as long as you get UL rated cable. This means the wire is insured not to start a fire. I know of a place you can get wire that is UL rated. The company is called Security Cameras Direct. They have siamese wire. This is RG59 coax with 18/2 wire attached to it. This allow you to have 1 cable for video and power. See the link below.

Security Camera RCA cable to VGA PC Monitor plug or cable?

I have a security camera that uses a VGA cable and I want to connect it a VGA PC monitor plug.

Is there such a cable, or VGA box, that allows for RCA video > VGA PC Monitor or converts the signal?

Thank you.

Answer
What you want is called a "video scaler" and they are not cheap. What they do is upconvert video to VGA:

It may end up being cheaper to buy a video monitor. Small flat screens with video input are getting much cheaper:
