Canare L-2.5CHD Thin Installation 12G/3G-SDI Custom Cable

Custom-made Canare L-2.5CHD Super Coax thin 75-ohm installation coaxial cable. Suitable for 3G-SDI/HD-SDI installations and, with the appropriate equipment, also for 12G-SDI transmission up to approximately 43 m.

Canare L-2.5CHD Slim Custom 12G/3G-SDI Installation Cable

Canare L-2.5CHD is a thin 75-ohm installation coaxial cable from the Super Coax series, designed for the transmission of professional SDI video signals. Thanks to its low attenuation, foam PE insulation, solid center conductor, and shielding that combines aluminum foil with dense tinned copper braiding, it is particularly suitable for fixed 3G-SDI/HD-SDI installations.

Canare also offers a 12G-SDI solution for the L-2.5CHD cable with Micro BNC connectors and a sweep test up to 12 GHz. According to Canare’s methodology, the typical transmission distance for 12G-SDI 4K-UHD is approximately 43 m, and for 3G-SDI 1080p approximately 69 m. The actual usable distance always depends on the specific camera, converter, monitor, router, or other signal receiver.

The cable is custom-made according to the selected configuration. You can select the desired length and available connectors directly on the product page. The resulting cable can thus be prepared for fixed SDI cabling in a studio, control room, equipment room, rack, or installation setup.

Technical Specifications

Typical transmission distance by video format

The transmission distances listed are typical values based on the Canare/SMPTE methodology and do not automatically guarantee the actual distance in every setup. Actual results depend on the equipment used, connectors, termination quality, and the receiver’s equalization capabilities. The cable is primarily intended for fixed installations; the manufacturer recommends avoiding repeated bending and excessive mechanical stress.
