Product Overview
The POWRIG 12G-SDI cable is a broadcast-grade 75 ohm coaxial BNC-to-BNC cable engineered for 12 Gbps data throughput — the bandwidth required for uncompressed 4K UHD video at up to 60 fps with HDR. Both ends feature 90° right-angle BNC male connectors that route the cable flush against the device body, making it ideal for camera cages, OB vans, rack-mounted switchers, and any setup where straight connectors would protrude and risk damage.
Key Advantages
- 12 Gbps Bandwidth for 4K UHD — Supports the full SMPTE ST 2082 12G-SDI standard, delivering uncompressed 4K video at 24/25/30/50/60 fps over a single coaxial cable. Also backward compatible with 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI.
- HDR & High Frame Rate Support — Handles the increased data payload of HDR10 and HLG metadata as well as high frame rate signals (4K 50p/60p) without signal degradation or dropout.
- 90° Right-Angle BNC Connectors — Both connectors are 90-degree male BNC, routing the cable parallel to the device face. Extends only ~1 cm from the port — critical for tight camera cages, rack panels, and OB truck patch bays.
- True 75 Ohm Impedance — Precision-manufactured to 75Ω impedance with proper dielectric matching. Prevents signal reflections, ghosting, and CRC errors that plague 50Ω or poorly-made cables in SDI applications.
- Color-Coded Jackets — Available in black, green, red, and blue. In multi-camera productions, color coding allows instant identification of camera feeds (e.g., red = Camera 1, blue = Camera 2, green = Camera 3, black = ISO record).
- Gold-Plated Connectors — Corrosion-resistant gold-plated BNC pins ensure consistent signal conductivity and reliable mating over hundreds of connection cycles.
- Flexible Coaxial Construction — The cable jacket and internal conductor are designed for repeated bending and coiling on set without signal degradation or internal breakage.
