Canare L-4CHD coaxial 3G/HD-SDI cable (per metre)

The Canare L-4CHD is a 75 Ω installation coaxial cable 6,1 mm in outer diameter with a solid center conductor, intended for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI cabling. It is sold by the metre; the price shown is for one metre.

Canare designed the Super Coax series for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI over longer distances. The L-4CHD has a solid center conductor, multi-layer highly-foamed PE insulation and a shield of aluminium foil with a dense tinned braid.

The L-4CHD sits in the middle of the series, between the thin L-2.5CHD and the thicker L-4.5CHD. Its 6.1 mm outer diameter is a compromise between reach and handling — the cable routes well in trunking and trays and covers ordinary studio and venue runs.

Per the SMPTE table the cable manages 93 m for HD-SDI and 98 m for 3G-SDI; attenuation is 30,6 dB/100 m at 1.5 GHz.

The manufacturer intends the cable for fixed installation: the foil in the shield does not take repeated bending or external pressure. For mobile use Canare offers the Mobile Coax series. The cable is sold cut to length.
