Cable Evolution 5-Channel 12G UHD 4K SDI BNC Snake Cable

Belden 4855R Mini RG59 | Professional Broadcast Multichannel Video Cable

The Cable Evolution 5-Channel 12G UHD SDI Snake Cable is engineered for professional broadcast, live production, mobile production, and AV integration applications that require multiple high-performance video connections in a single, organized cable assembly. Built using genuine Belden 4855R Mini RG59 coaxial cable, this compact snake supports 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI video formats while delivering exceptional signal integrity for today's demanding 4K UHD workflows.

Designed to simplify installations and reduce cable clutter, this 5-channel assembly combines five individually shielded 75 Ohm coaxial cables into one flexible, durable snake. The rugged PVC outer jacket provides excellent protection while remaining flexible enough for studio, broadcast truck, fly pack, and field production use.

Each cable is precision stripped using our automated cable processing equipment, then hand assembled and individually tested by our technicians to ensure dependable performance in mission-critical applications.

Available with BNC, HD-BNC (High Density BNC), DIN 1.0/2.3, or female connector configurations, these custom-built assemblies are manufactured to your exact length and connector requirements.
