XRDS -RF 50ft HD‑SDI BNC-to-BNC 75Ω RG179 Video Cable

Designed for videographers, broadcast technicians, CCTV installers and anyone connecting HD-SDI cameras, monitors, recorders or converters, this 50-foot coax uses 75-ohm RG179 construction and silver-plated copper conductors to keep signal loss low while remaining highly flexible. Nickel-plated RF Industries waterproof BNC male connectors deliver a secure, corrosion-resistant interface for repeated hookups in studio, field or mobile setups.

How does this cable preserve video quality over 50 feet?

The XRDS -RF RG179 cable uses a 75-ohm impedance matched design and silver-plated copper conductor to reduce attenuation and reflections that can degrade HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals. That combination maintains a clean transmission path for 1080p and 3G video; 4K compatibility depends on the encoder and link budget.

• 75 Ω impedance for SDI signal consistency
• Silver-plated copper core lowers resistance and signal loss
• Nickel-plated waterproof BNC connectors reduce contact degradation
• 50 ft length balances reach and minimal attenuation

Is this cable flexible and easy to route on location?

Yes — the RG179 construction is intentionally thin and flexible, making it simpler to snake through racks, conduits and tight camera rigs compared with thicker coax. Its light weight helps reduce strain on connectors and camera mounts during long shoots.

• Thin jacket for tight bend radii and neat cable runs
• Lightweight for reduced connector strain
• High temperature and corrosion resistance for varied conditions
• Suitable for short- to medium-distance studio and field use

Which devices and setups can I connect with this BNC-to-BNC cable?

This cable supports a wide range of SDI-standard equipment: cameras, recorders, SDI monitors, converters, splitters and testing gear like oscilloscopes. It is intended for applications using HD-SDI/3G-SDI signals and can be used where reliable BNC connections are required.

• HD-SDI and 3G-SDI cameras and recorders
• CCTV monitors, SDI converters and video splitters
• Field rigs, studio patching and marine or mobile installations
• Compatible with equipment expecting 75 Ω BNC terminations

How durable are the connectors and jacket for repeated use?

The cable ships with nickel-plated RF Industries style BNC male connectors designed for a snug, corrosion-resistant mating surface. The jacket and conductor materials offer good thermal and environmental tolerance, so the cable stands up to frequent handling and outdoor use when protected.

• Nickel-plated BNCs resist corrosion and repeated connects
• Silver-plated conductor minimizes oxidation and loss
• Jacket resists temperature and abrasion during field use
• Lightweight build reduces connector stress under load

Who is this for? The XRDS -RF Flexible 50FT HD-SDI Cable is aimed at professionals and advanced hobbyists who need a reliable, lightweight BNC extension for HD-SDI / 3G-SDI signal paths—studio techs, live-event crews, CCTV installers and on-location videographers who prioritize low-loss transmission, flexibility, and rugged connector performance. It is best for runs where a slim cable and dependable BNC interface matter more than the extended reach of thick multicore coax.
