Canare L-4.5CHWS HD-SDI Flexible Custom Cable

Flexible, professional 75-ohm Canare L-4.5CHWS coaxial cable for SD/HD/3G-SDI and shorter 12G-SDI runs. Suitable for longer HD and 3G-SDI connections, approximately up to 90 m for 3G-SDI / HD 1080p and up to 50 m for 12G-SDI / 4K-UHD.

Canare L-4.5CHWS HD-SDI Custom Flexible Cable

The Canare L-4.5CHWS is a flexible and durable 75-ohm coaxial cable for professional SD/HD/3G-SDI video applications and shorter 12G-SDI runs. Compared to thinner cables, it offers a more robust construction, lower losses, and greater headroom for longer cable runs. It is suitable for camera setups, control rooms, monitoring, studio interconnects, mobile production, and technical installations where signal reliability and durability during frequent handling are critical.

For 3G-SDI / HD 1080p, the approximate maximum transmission distance is up to 90 m, depending on the cable specifications for the given format. For 12G-SDI / 4K-UHD, the Canare catalog lists an approximate maximum distance of up to 50 m. In practice, the resulting reliability may also depend on the equipment used, signal quality, connectors, and the entire setup.

The cable is custom-made according to the selected configuration. You can select the desired length, available connectors, and cover color directly on the product page. Thanks to its stranded central conductor, high-density double-braided shielding, and thick foam insulation, the cable is also suitable for mobile applications and repeated bending.
