Connect Traditional and High-Density Video Equipment
Standard BNC connectors are widely used on professional cameras, switchers, monitors and converters. DIN 1.0/2.3 is a smaller 75-ohm connector used on broadcast equipment that requires more video connections in a limited amount of panel space.
This BNC-to-DIN cable connects those different interfaces while maintaining a professional 75-ohm signal path. It is ideal when one device has a standard BNC port and the other has a DIN 1.0/2.3 port.
Belden 4855R Mini RG59 keeps the assembly lightweight and flexible, making it easier to route behind crowded equipment racks, routers, monitors, fly packs and mobile production systems.

Approximate SDI Transmission Distances
| SDI Format | Typical Application | Approximate Maximum Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 12G-SDI | 4K UHD video | Up to approximately 150 feet |
| 6G-SDI | 4K UHD video | Up to approximately 215 feet |
| 3G-SDI | 1080p HD video | Up to approximately 300 feet |
Transmission distances are approximate. Actual performance depends on the connected equipment, video format, connectors, patch points, installation conditions and total signal path.
DIN 1.0/2.3 vs. Standard BNC
| Feature | DIN 1.0/2.3 | Standard BNC |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal impedance | 75 ohms | 75 ohms with professional video connectors |
| Connector size | Compact high-density design | Traditional full-size design |
| Common use | Routers, monitors and high-density equipment | Cameras, switchers and traditional video equipment |
| Primary advantage | More connections in limited panel space | Widely used traditional broadcast interface |
| Directly interchangeable? | No—requires a matching DIN port | No—requires a matching BNC port |

12G BNC to DIN 1.0/2.3 Cable FAQs
What connectors are installed on this cable?
This cable has one precision 75-ohm male standard BNC connector and one precision 75-ohm male DIN 1.0/2.3 connector.
Does this cable support 12G-SDI and 4K UHD?
Yes. This assembly uses genuine Belden 4855R 12 GHz coax and precision 12G-rated connectors for compatible 12G-SDI and 4K UHD equipment.
Can this cable carry 3G-SDI or 6G-SDI?
Yes. It is backward compatible with compatible SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI equipment.
Does the 200-foot cable support 12G-SDI?
No. The 200-foot option is intended for formats through 6G-SDI. For 12G-SDI applications, choose a length of 150 feet or shorter.
Is DIN 1.0/2.3 the same as BNC?
No. DIN 1.0/2.3 and standard BNC are different physical connector types. This cable is specifically designed to connect equipment using those two different interfaces.
Why choose Mini RG59?
Mini RG59 is a strong choice when flexibility, reduced cable weight and compact routing are important. Its smaller diameter is especially useful in crowded racks, routers, patch panels, fly packs and mobile production systems.
Are custom lengths available?
Yes. AV-Cables can manufacture custom lengths, matching cable sets and production quantities for studios, broadcast facilities, production companies, integrators, government installations and OEM projects.
