Belden rates the maximum length for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI to be 20 dB loss at 1/2 the clock frequency. The very best cable seems to be 7731A (RG-11/U 0.4 inch diameter), which is good for 580 feet with HD-SDI and 393 feet with 3G-SDI. http://www.belden.com/resourcecenter/tools/upload/TB65_p28.pdf Ron On 12/08/2014 10:44 AM, Mike Tsinberg wrote:
