The Ultimate Rugged 12G-SDI Cable for Demanding Productions
In the world of professional video production, the weakest link can compromise an entire shoot. Don't let a flimsy cable be your downfall. Introducing the Custom-Made Rugged 12G-SDI Cable from DIT Tools—engineered from the ground up to provide unwavering reliability and pristine signal integrity when it matters most. Built for the chaos of the set and the precision of the DIT cart, this is the last SDI cable you'll ever need to buy.
At its core, this cable is designed for the future of high-resolution video. With full support for 12G-SDI, it effortlessly handles uncompressed 4K UHD video signals at up to 60 frames per second. This ensures that what you see on your monitor is a bit-for-bit perfect representation of what your camera is capturing, free from artifacts or data loss. Whether you're running a feed to a director's monitor, connecting an on-camera recorder, or powering a long-range wireless video transmitter, you can trust our cable to deliver a flawless signal every time. It's also fully backward-compatible with 6G, 3G, and HD-SDI equipment, making it a versatile and future-proof investment for your kit.
We know that on-set durability is non-negotiable. That's why we've focused on creating a truly 'rugged' cable. The robust outer jacket is designed to resist abrasions, crushing, and the constant coiling and uncoiling of daily use. We terminate each cable in-house with high-quality, precision-engineered BNC connectors that provide a secure, locking fit to prevent accidental disconnections. This meticulous, hands-on assembly process guarantees a level of quality control and reliability that mass-produced cables simply cannot match. For a truly professional workflow, pair our cables with Lentequip cable reels for clean, fast, and protected deployment on any location. If you require a specific length not listed, we can create a custom solution tailored perfectly to your rig. Just email us at info@dittools.eu to get started.
