12GHz VMPUHD-Series mid-size video patch cables by Laird are designed to meet today's and future broadcast patching needs in video studios, sports production trucks and ENG vans. These cables meet standards for SMPTE 2082-1 and are capable of carrying 12G-SDI UHD video signals for 4K video formats. Cables utilize a flexible and lightweight Belden 4505R silver-plated copper RG59 cable along with Switchcraft UHD precision mid-size video plugs.
12G-SDI Maximum Distance
Laird Certifies this cable to work at a Max Transmission Distance of 150 Feet for 12G-SDI even though Belden may show this distance as 208 Feet. To meet the Laird max transmission standard, signal integrity must remain 100% functional without any CRC errors. Your 12G-SDI ST 2082 signals may function at or beyond the manufacturer-certified lengths without issues; however, when CRC errors are present there could be drops in audio, video, meta, and ancillary data. In most circumstances, video integrity remains intact at OEM distance.
