    Greetings All..

    Will be recording a live stand-up comedian concert and would like to get recommendations on bulk coax for HD/SDI runs and BNC connectors. Longest run will be 300′

    Thanks for the time!

    Canare L-5CHW or Belden 1694A

    I use the canare and have never had an issue. Will go 300′ @ 1080p but if you step down to 1080i or 720p I’ve gotten almost 500′ through 2 pieces and a barrel.

    If you don’t already have the tools to terminate you may want to find someone close by that has them. The tool set to make them runs $200-$300. Nice to have though since I’ve rebuilt my camera rack with all custom looms and it came out great
