Belden 1694A Reviews
Great Cable
By Paul
Rated 5 out of 5

The cable arrived faster than expected. The price was comparable or lower than other places we searched and BH carried the length we needed. This cable is easy to use as we are running it for cameras.
What's there to say? It's an industry benchmark.

What can I say, it's a roll of cable. It does strip and terminate easily with out much effort. Works well with interacting SDI equipment.
The right cable for HD-SDI

Quality cable! I chose to terminate with Canare BCP-B53 and can vouch for the combo.

This cable is listed by Blackmagic as being tested for carrying a 12G signal up to 50 meters. Can you confirm this is possible? I can't find any information in the technical specifications that mentions using this for a 12G signal. Thanks!
This cable is unfortunately not capable of 12G, here is an alternative.

Im looking make short custom cables that will run 12g signal. Up to how many feet should keep my cables to prevent degradation?
This cable is not strong enough for 12G-SDI. Here in an option that will work.

is this support 3 g sdi and what is the max length?
Yes, the Belden 1694A RG6 Low Loss Serial Digital Coaxial Cable (500', Black) supports 3G signals and can allow up to 255 feet for 3G-SDI.

question
Will it carry a HD-SDI (1.5G) signal 500 ft?
I work at a tv station as well. We have found that 300 to 350' is max then you have to reclock your signal. If you have the test equipment, look at the eye pattern of your signal thru the cable. You will be able to see the degradation.

question
is this rated for use in plenum?
No. Refer to the Belden Master Catalog for the plenum version of this cable. I believe it is 1695A but that part number may have changed.
