Product Description
Custom Multi-Channel 6G HD-SDI BNC to HD-BNC Snake Cable
Cable Evolution Custom 6G HD-SDI BNC to HD-BNC Snake Cables provide a clean, professional solution for connecting traditional BNC-equipped broadcast equipment to cameras, switchers, routers, monitors, converters and other devices using high-density HD-BNC connections.
Each snake combines multiple precision 75-ohm Mini RG59 coaxial cables inside durable expandable sleeving, with standard BNC male connectors on one end and compact HD-BNC male connectors on the opposite end.
Designed for professional broadcast, live production, mobile production, studio and commercial AV systems, these assemblies reduce cable clutter while providing dependable multi-channel SDI connectivity in high-density installations.

Available Channel Configurations
Choose the number of SDI channels required for your production or installation. Current configurations include 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12 and 16 channels. Custom configurations are also available upon request.
BNC to HD-BNC Connectivity
The BNC end connects to traditional broadcast equipment using standard 75-ohm BNC interfaces, while the HD-BNC end provides a compact connection for high-density routers, switchers, cameras, converters, multiviewers, patching systems and other professional video equipment.
HD-BNC provides the familiar push-and-turn bayonet-style connection of BNC in a significantly smaller connector footprint, making it especially useful where many SDI connections must fit into a limited panel space.

One Snake Instead of Multiple Individual SDI Cables
Bundling multiple SDI channels into a single protected assembly makes setup, routing and teardown faster while reducing cable clutter. This is especially valuable in mobile production systems, broadcast racks and temporary production environments where multiple BNC-to-HD-BNC connections must travel together.
