Monoprice Viper HD-SDI RG6 Cable (250ft) – BNC, 75Ω, 3 Gbps

Overview

Meet the Monoprice Viper Series HD-SDI RG6 BNC Cable, a purpose-built solution for professional broadcast and high-definition video transfers. Spanning 250 feet, this cable combines rugged construction with precise electrical characteristics to support HD-SDI signals across workflows from studio racks to on-site shoots.

Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the cable uses dual shielding (copper and aluminum) and an 18 AWG copper conductor to form a sturdy, flexible path for video signals. The 75-ohm impedance is matched to the common HD-SDI standard, helping maintain signal integrity as runs extend between equipment.

Key features

• Dual copper and aluminum shielding for improved noise rejection
• 18 AWG pure copper conductor for strong, low-loss signal paths
• RG6 digital spec coaxial cable with true 75-ohm impedance
• Diameter 0.303 inches balances flexibility with durability
• 100% sweep tested to verify performance across the specified bandwidth
• True 75-ohm BNC Male connectors on both ends for straightforward setup

Real-world use cases

In broadcast control rooms, on mobile production crews, or during HDTV upgrade projects, this cable can support HD-SDI video transfers over longer distances where signal integrity matters. The cable’s shielding and conductor design may help mitigate interference from nearby equipment, power lines, or other cabling in busy facilities.

• Long cable runs between cameras, routers, and recording gear in studios
• Field or on-location shoots requiring dependable HD-SDI connections
• Upgrading legacy HD-SDI setups with a single, versatile RG6 cable path
