Engineered for Broadcast ExcellenceBELDEN 1694SB is designed to meet the demanding requirements of broadcast, studio, and digital video transmission. Its precision 75 Ohm impedance and solid construction ensure outstanding performance for HD and SD low-loss signal transmission, even over long cable lengths. This makes it a go-to choice for professionals requiring pristine signal clarity in critical environments.
Superior Shielding for Noise ImmunityWith a dual-layer shield (95% tinned copper braid and 100% aluminum/polyester foil), this cable mitigates electromagnetic interference, preserving signal integrity for high-resolution video. The double shielding not only enhances noise rejection but also supports stable, reliable performance in environments with high electronic activity, such as studios and control rooms.
Robust Design & Flexible InstallationBELDEN 1694SB's solid copper conductor and foamed polyethylene insulation offer durability and flexibility, ensuring reliable performance even in tight installations. The PVC jacket is tough yet flexible, with a minimum bend radius of 66 mm, making it suitable for both temporary and permanent indoor setups. Its 305-meter reel efficiently covers long runs in large-scale deployments.
FAQ's of BELDEN 1694SB:
Q: How is BELDEN 1694SB typically used in video installations?
A: BELDEN 1694SB is primarily deployed in broadcast studios, CCTV setups, and professional digital video systems, such as HD-SDI and SD-SDI signal transmission. Its precise 75 Ohm impedance ensures optimal performance for baseband video and high-resolution digital signals, making it ideal for both new installations and upgrades.
Q: What are the benefits of the double-shielded design?
A: The cable's 95% tinned copper braid and 100% aluminum/polyester foil provide comprehensive electromagnetic interference protection, leading to superior noise immunity. This shielding ensures high signal clarity, essential for broadcast and video applications where maintaining quality over longer distances is crucial.
Q: When should I choose this cable over standard coaxial options?
A: Choose BELDEN 1694SB when your application requires precise 75 Ohm impedance, low signal attenuation, and high reliability for digital or broadcast-grade video transmission. It's particularly suited to environments with high electronic interference, or where HD/SD video signals must travel significant distances without degradation.
Q: Where can BELDEN 1694SB be installed, and is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: BELDEN 1694SB is designed for indoor and studio installations, as specified by its PVC jacket and operational temperature range of -20C to +60C. While robust for indoor use, it is not recommended for direct outdoor installation or environments where exposure to the elements could occur.
Q: What installation considerations should be kept in mind?
A: During installation, observe the minimum bend radius of 66 mm (10x cable diameter) to prevent damage and preserve optimal performance. Since the cable is supplied without connectors, users should select and properly install compatible connectors suited to their equipment and application.
Q: How does the foamed polyethylene insulation contribute to the cable's performance?
A: The foamed PE insulation provides excellent dielectric properties, enabling a velocity of propagation of 82%. This enhances signal transmission speed and reduces losses, ensuring clear, reliable high-frequency video signals even in demanding professional settings.
