Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Two 3ft cables per pack, enough for an in-and-out signal chain
  • ✓ Rated for 3G HD-SDI video at a true 75 Ohm impedance
  • ✓ Silver-plated copper conductor for low signal loss
  • ✓ Foil plus tinned braid shielding rejects EMI and RFI
  • ✓ Thin, flexible RG179 routes easily through camera rigs and racks

Cons

  • ✗ 3ft length is too short for runs across a room or between racks

  • ✗ Braid is copper-clad aluminum, not solid copper
  • ✗ Male-to-male only; female or RCA ports need separate adapters

Manufacturer description

The XRDS -RF HD SDI cable two-pack gives you a pair of 3ft RG179 coax runs for short camera-to-monitor, recorder or converter hops. Each cable is 75 Ohm coax with a male BNC connector on both ends, so it fits the BNC female ports found on BMCC cameras, CCTV monitors, SDI converters, video splitters and oscilloscopes. The conductor is silver-plated copper, and the cable is rated for 3G HD-SDI, so it handles HD video over SDI with low signal loss. Shielding has two layers: a dense tinned copper-clad aluminum braid over aluminum foil. Together they reject EMI and RFI, which keeps the picture…
