Sommer Cable SC-Vector PLUS 1.2/4.8 DZ HD-SDI Video Patch Cable 0.5 m BNC Male to BNC Male Black

The Sommer Cable SC-Vector PLUS 1.2/4.8 DZ HD-SDI Video Patch Cable is a professional-grade coaxial cable designed for high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) and 3G-SDI video transmission. With a length of 0.5 meters and equipped with two BNC male connectors (HICON), this cable is ideal for short patch connections in broadcast studios, live events, and post-production environments. It features a solid copper conductor, gas-foamed polyethylene dielectric, and double shielding (aluminum/PT foil plus copper braid with 95% coverage) to ensure excellent signal integrity and minimal interference.

Advantages

This cable delivers reliable performance for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals up to 3 Gbps, with low attenuation (16.0 dB per 100 m at 1 GHz) and high return loss (>20 dB). The robust double shielding protects against electromagnetic interference, while the PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility for everyday use. The 75-ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard broadcast equipment.

Suitable for

• Professional broadcast studios
