Superbat SDI BNC Cable 3G/6G/12G, Belden 1694A, HD-SDI and 12G-SDI

The Superbat SDI BNC Cable is a coaxial video cable designed for SDI signal connections, with support for 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI applications when used with compatible equipment. The cable is identified with Belden 1694A as the cable type and uses BNC connectors for connecting compatible SDI equipment. It is suitable for professional video signal connections where the connected devices use compatible BNC SDI interfaces and the required signal standard is supported by the cable and equipment.

Product Features

Supports 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI

The Superbat SDI BNC cable is specified for 3G, 6G and 12G SDI signal applications. This makes it suitable for installations where the connected equipment requires different SDI signal rates, provided the complete system supports the required standard.

Belden 1694A Cable

The cable is identified as Belden 1694A, a 75-ohm coaxial cable specification commonly used for SDI video signal applications. Using the specified cable type helps maintain the electrical characteristics required by compatible SDI equipment.

BNC Connectors

The cable uses BNC connectors for connection to compatible SDI equipment. BNC is a common connector interface for SDI video equipment, including cameras, monitors, video switchers, recorders and other compatible devices.

HD-SDI Signal Connection

The Superbat cable can be used for HD-SDI signal connections where the connected equipment supports the applicable SDI standard.

The actual signal format and resolution supported by a complete video system depend on the connected equipment, SDI standard and cable installation.

12G-SDI Connectivity

Support for 12G-SDI makes the cable suitable for compatible higher-data-rate SDI connections. 12G-SDI equipment should be connected using an appropriate 75-ohm cable and compatible BNC interfaces.

Suitable for Professional Video Equipment

The cable can be used to connect compatible SDI equipment that uses BNC interfaces. Typical equipment can include SDI cameras, monitors, video switchers, recorders and other broadcast or professional video devices.

The exact application depends on the connectors and SDI interfaces available on the equipment being connected.

Coaxial SDI Connection

SDI signals are transmitted through coaxial cable, and the cable’s impedance and connector characteristics are important when building an SDI connection.

The Belden 1694A specification provides the cable type identified for this Superbat cable.

Where to Use an SDI BNC Cable

An SDI BNC cable is used where compatible video equipment needs to exchange digital video signals over a coaxial connection.

Depending on the equipment configuration, the cable can be used between devices such as:

• SDI cameras and monitors
• Cameras and video switchers
• Video switchers and recorders
• SDI recorders and monitoring equipment
• Other compatible SDI video equipment

Before purchasing, confirm the SDI standard, connector type, cable length and equipment interfaces required for your installation.

3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI Explained

The terms 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI refer to different SDI data-rate standards.

3G-SDI supports data rates up to approximately 3 Gbit/s.

6G-SDI supports data rates up to approximately 6 Gbit/s.

12G-SDI supports data rates up to approximately 12 Gbit/s.

A cable being specified for a particular SDI data rate does not by itself determine the resolution or video format of the complete system. The camera, switcher, monitor, recorder and other connected equipment must also support the required SDI standard.

Choosing the Right SDI Cable

When purchasing an SDI cable, do not look only at the connector. Check the complete connection requirements.

Consider:

• The required SDI standard
• Cable impedance
• BNC connector compatibility
• Required cable length
• Equipment interfaces
• Installation environment
• Signal data rate

For longer cable runs, the maximum supported distance depends on the cable specification, SDI data rate, signal quality and equipment. Therefore, a specific transmission distance should not be assumed unless it is documented for the exact cable and SDI standard.

Why Choose the Superbat SDI BNC Cable?

The Superbat SDI BNC cable provides a straightforward coaxial connection for compatible SDI video equipment, with support specified for 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI applications.
