New connectors and assemblies enable 12G-SDI transmission rates over increased distances

Cambridge Electronic Industries, a specialist designer and manufacturer of vision coaxial connectors and cable assemblies, has introduced a series of 12G-SDI BNC connectors under the CoaxVision brand, which maximise the speed and performance of Belden’s 4794R 4K co-axial cable for applications in Digital Cinema and Ultra High Definition TV.

These new connectors are engineered to enable the data rates needed for high resolution, uncompressed digital video signals and high frame rates, and support the High Definition standards SMPTE 2082-1, 12G-SDI 4K, D-Cinema, UHDTV1 and UHDTV2.

12G-SDI carries four times the payload of 3G in one single channel, so the 4794R 4K cable saves considerable weight and space compared to existing RG-6 solutions – it is 30-50% lighter than dual link RG-6 and 70-80% lighter than quad link RG-6 solutions.

Cambridge Electronic has also developed 12G-SDI connectors and assemblies for Belden 4855R and Belden 4694R HDTV video cables, and Igus CF Koax1 flexible cables.
