NOTE: Cable & Connector for HD-SDI camera
In order to achieve the Best Qualityand Long Range coax cable run of up to 200m /
600ft, you will need:
1. Good Quality Cable: We suggest using RG6 Belden 1694A Low Loss Serial Digital coax cable
because RG6 cables have better grounding than RG59 cables. RG6 is for Digital Signal and
RG59 is for Analog Signal.
2. Good Quality BNC Connectors: Contact Plating Gold plated pins provide
exceptional conductivity.
3. Good Quality Installation: Do not over cut the braid because it will affect the grounding.
The image will have lines and noise.
