Product Description
Professional Long-Distance Belden 1694A RG6 HD-SDI Cable
AV-Cables Belden 1694A RG6 HD-SDI BNC cable assemblies are built for professional broadcast, video production and commercial AV applications where dependable signal integrity over longer cable runs is essential.
Constructed using genuine Belden 1694A low-loss RG6 broadcast coaxial cable and professional true 75-ohm BNC connectors, these assemblies support SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI video systems.
The full-size RG6 construction provides lower attenuation than smaller Mini RG59 and standard RG59 cables, making 1694A an excellent choice for cameras, switchers, routers, engineering racks, patch panels, production trucks, stadiums and permanent broadcast installations.
Every AV-Cables 1694A assembly is hand assembled in the USA, individually tested before shipment and backed by our Lifetime Connector Replacement Warranty.
