As 12G / 4K UHD continues to shape the landscape of broadcast TV, sports, live events and commercial production workflows, Laird delivers the most advanced BNC Cable Reels on the market for effectively transmitting 12G-SDI signals up to 325 feet. Utilizing Canare L-5.5CUHD coaxial, these BNC cables are the right choice to future-proof new facility installs in studios and broadcast towers as well as outside broadcast interface applications. This coax cable has enhanced attenuation characteristics that allow transport of 12G signals at much greater distances than comparable-sized coax. Cables are fully SMPTE ST-2082-1 compliant and hand crafted with Canare L-5.5CUHD miniature coaxial and BCP-D55UHD connectors. A superb return loss at 12 GHz of 15 dB, 20 dB @ 6 GHz & 26 dB @ 3 GHz makes these cables perfect for 12G, 6G and 3G systems.
12G-SDI Maximum Distance
Laird Certifies this cable to work at a Max Transmission Distance of 250 Feet for 12G-SDI even though Canare may show this distance as 330 Feet. To meet the Laird max transmission standard, signal integrity must remain 100% functional without any CRC errors. Your 12G-SDI ST 2082 signals may function at or beyond the manufacturer-certified lengths without issues; however, when CRC errors are present there could be drops in audio, video, meta, and ancillary data. In most circumstances, video integrity remains intact at OEM distance.
