How far can you run 12G SDI cable?

328 feet
Starting Down the Path Toward 12G-SDI Although it has changed over the years, the magic distance for video cables today is 100m (328 feet).

Can I use coax cable for SDI?

But different coax cable center conductors are different diameters and can carry different signals based on the diameter of the cable. SDI cables are coaxial. Coaxial cable is not necessarily suitable for SDI.

What is 6G SDI?

6G-SDI: This standard defines a bit-serial data structure, electrical signal and coaxial cable interface for the transport of signals with a total payload of 5.940 Gb/s or 5.940/1.001 Gb/s. This standard also specifies the electrical and physical characteristics of coaxial cables and connectors.

What is the recommended transmission distance for 0.40 diameter cable?

Distances referred to are those distances between the pillar and the joint. The distance from the exchange to the farthest customer in a DA, D=Dd+Df If D<=4300m, 0.40 cable is to be used. If D>4300m, a mix of 0.40 and 0.64 cable is to be used.

Can I use RG-6 for SDI?

SDI will work with plain old RG/6 just fine, it will even work thru an F81 barrel connector. However, you must use a 75 Ohm BNC connector (not 50 ohm).

Is a BNC cable the same as SDI?

BNC is a plug format, SDI is a signal transport format. One uses a BNC connector for a variety of equipment such as television cables, and radios. In addition to that, BNC connects with SDI to allow extended signal bandwidths. On the other hand, SDI is an interface type used on high definition signals.

Does 3G-SDI support 4K?

4K content can be distributed via 3G-SDI, but the solution is not as elegant as 12G-SDI. 3G-SDI supports a 1080p signal, so a Quad Link of four separate cables is required to send one 4K signal, which also means the 4K signals requires four inputs on a 4K-capable 3G-SDI video switcher or router.

What is the maximum length for SDI video cables?

Transmission of audio and video over the long-range[300ft]. Amplifiers and repeaters increase this range even further.

  • Has a BNC connector which has a lock-in mechanism.
  • Cheaper compared to other cables as it is mass-produced.
  • It’s reliable,robust,and sturdy.
  • Works wonders while sending uncompressed audio and video signals.

    • What is the maximum length for satellite cable?

    The length of the run includes the distance to either the receiver or a switch. You can extend the run past the 125-150′ limit by using bigger (and much more expensive) RG11 cable. The issue isn’t so much signal strength as it is voltage drop for the signaling voltages and LNB power.

    What’s the maximum serial cable length?

    The RS-232 standard specifies this as 15 metres (50 feet). However this is a conservative figure accounting for high serial speeds over high capacitance cabling, for example using a baud rate of 9600 (a common console speed) over typical Cat 5 cabling, the maximum length increases to 100 – 150 meters (328 – 500 feet).
