SDI Cable Reel – 50m

The SDI Cable Reel – 50m is a practical long-distance video cable for professional film, broadcast and live-production setups. With 50 metres of cable stored on a reel, it allows cameras, video routers, monitors, recorders and other SDI devices to be connected across large studios, stages, event spaces and location sets without leaving loose cable spread across the floor. The reel format also makes transport, deployment and storage much easier than handling the same cable as a loose coil.

50-metre reach for larger sets

A 50m cable is useful when the camera position is far from video village, monitoring, recording or switching equipment. It can be routed around set walls, across stages or between production areas while keeping the signal path simple and direct. The extra length is particularly useful for multicamera work, studio shoots, events and exterior setups where short patch cables are not sufficient.

SDI connection with BNC connectors

The cable is intended for SDI video connections and uses BNC connectors, the standard connector format used by professional broadcast and cinema equipment. It can be integrated with compatible cameras, monitors, wireless video systems, video routers and recorders. Because SDI bandwidth capability depends on the exact cable construction and connector specification, the required signal standard should be confirmed before production when working with higher-bandwidth formats.

Cable reel for fast deployment and storage

The reel helps keep a long cable organized and makes it easier to deploy only the length required for a particular setup. After the shoot, the cable can be wound back onto the drum instead of being manually coiled on the floor. This reduces tangling, keeps the cable easier to transport and helps maintain a cleaner working area around camera, monitoring and DIT positions.

Useful for camera-to-monitor and video-village runs

A long SDI run is commonly used to send a camera feed to video village, a production monitor, a recorder or a switching system positioned away from the camera. The 50m reel is also useful as a fixed infrastructure cable on stage, where cameras may move between several positions while monitoring remains in one central location.
