SmallHD 12G-SDI Cable 120IN/305cm

SmallHD 12G-SDI Cable 120IN/305cm | 305 cm of reach for SDI setups

Without enough cable, an SDI connection can dictate where two pieces of kit sit. This SmallHD lead gives you a stated 120 inches, or 305 cm, to route between connection points. It’s a 12G-SDI cable for setups where a short run would limit how you position your equipment. Its most useful detail is simple: the length gives you room to plan a route rather than placing everything right beside the connection. Keep in mind that the cable’s path around a rig uses more length than the straight-line distance between two sockets. I’d measure that route before settling on a cable length, especially if it needs to pass around equipment or along a support. For this model, the product name gives the length in both inches and centimetres, making it easy to compare with your measurements.

Planning the cable route

Measure from connection to connection along the path you expect the cable to take, not just across the gap between the two points. A cable routed around a monitor, camera support or other equipment needs extra distance for those turns. It also helps to think about where the cable will sit once everything is in its working position; moving a piece of kit after measuring can change the route. Leave enough room for your planned placement without pulling the cable tight. That’s the practical part of choosing any cable length, and it matters more than the number on its own. This SmallHD cable’s stated length gives you a clear figure to compare against your setup, but the final fit depends on your layout and routing.
