6G DIN 1.0/2.3 Cable FAQs
What connectors are installed on this cable?
This cable has one genuine Kings 75-ohm male DIN 1.0/2.3 connector on both ends.
Does this cable support 6G-SDI and 4K UHD?
Yes. Belden 1855A is a 6 GHz professional video cable designed for compatible 6G-SDI and 4K UHD equipment.
Does this cable support 12G-SDI?
No. This Belden 1855A assembly is intended for video formats through 6G-SDI. Choose the Belden 4855R DIN-to-DIN cable when single-link 12G-SDI support is required.
Can this cable carry 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI?
Yes. It is backward compatible with compatible 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI equipment.
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 an excellent 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.
