Designed for Professional DIN 1.0/2.3 Equipment
DIN 1.0/2.3 is a compact 75-ohm connector used on professional broadcast-video equipment where panel space is limited. Its small footprint allows manufacturers to install more SDI connections on routers, switchers, monitors and other high-density equipment.
This DIN-to-DIN cable provides a direct connection between two compatible devices without requiring separate adapters. Belden 4855R Mini RG59 keeps the complete assembly lightweight and easy to route through crowded racks, production trucks and portable systems.

12G DIN 1.0/2.3 Cable FAQs
What connectors are installed on this cable?
This cable has a precision 75-ohm male DIN 1.0/2.3 connector on both ends.
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 or HD-BNC?
No. DIN 1.0/2.3, standard BNC and HD-BNC are different physical connector types. Confirm that both devices have compatible female DIN 1.0/2.3 ports before ordering.
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.
