This 75 Ohm SDI coaxial cable (RG-59) is built for reliable digital video transmission, including HD-SDI 1080p and 6 Gb/s UHDTV. It features a solid 20 AWG bare copper conductor, foam PE insulation, and a dual-shield design (100% foil + 95% tinned copper braid) to help maintain signal integrity and reduce interference across demanding video runs.
Designed for digital video applications including HD-SDI 1080p and 6 Gb/s UHDTV workflows.
Solid BC conductor (0.032 in nominal diameter) for stable performance in fixed installations.
Duofoil® tri-laminate tape provides full coverage, backed by a dense 95% tinned copper braid for strong noise rejection.
Optimized electrical performance with 16.3 pF/ft capacitance, 75 Ohm impedance, and 82% velocity of propagation.
PVC jacket with CMR/CMG compliance, suitable for indoor installations where riser rating is required.
