Does anyone use this for events? We need 150' runs of 3G SDI. Thanks
Asked by: chris
I use this as internal cabling on my racks. It is good cable, however I would not trust on long lengths both for its shielding and for it’s thin profile which makes it less resistant to breakage. For long and exposed cable runs like that, in 3G, I would recommend Belden 1694a. It’s pretty much the industry standard at this point for broadcast. Very well shielded and very durable. It’s a little stiff at first, but will train to a nice coil over time. You can also use canare connectors as well if you like, you do not have to stick with the belden bnc connectors... but either will work just fine when terminating the cables.

Will this will run 6G sdi signal for 60M ?

Will this will run 6G sdi signal for 60M ?
Asked by: Jerry
The Belden 1855A Sub Miniature Video Coax 23 AWG 1000 ft Violet would likely not work such a distance carrying 6G signals. We recommend this cable. Belden 12G-SDI 75-Ohm UHD 4K Mini Coax Video Cable (1000', Black) BH #BE4855R1000B • MFR #4855R-1000-BLK
