Professional SDI Video Cable

This two-pack supplies 60 cm BNC male-to-male coaxial cables built to 75 ohm impedance for serial digital interface workflows. The RG179 construction uses copper conductors with silver-plated shielding braid to keep attenuation low on HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals. Gold-plated connectors provide secure mating for studio and field installations.

Suited for compact SDI chains

The short length and flexible jacket suit patching between a camera, monitor, splitter, converter or switcher in tight racks or on rigs. Installations that need longer runs, plenum ratings or right-angle connectors should look at other cable assemblies. The 2 ft reach does not span between distant rack bays or floor-to-ceiling drops.

75 ohm RG179 impedance match

The defining specification is the 75 ohm characteristic impedance carried by the RG179 coaxial geometry, which preserves the return-loss budget required by SMPTE SDI standards. Mismatched impedance causes bit errors on 3G and higher bit-rate formats, so this parameter alone determines whether the cable fits the signal path.

Questions about this item

What connectors must my devices already have to use these 75 Ohm BNC cables?

Each end terminates in a male BNC connector, so both pieces of equipment need a female BNC jack.

Will the RG179 construction work with my older HD-SDI gear?

Yes, the 75 Ohm impedance matches legacy HD-SDI and 3G-SDI interfaces, so the cables are backward compatible.

How can I verify the link is clean after connecting the pair?

Check that your monitor or recorder reports a locked SDI signal with no error flags or visible artifacts.
