Belden 1694A Coaxial Video Cable | Digital Coax Low Loss Serial Cable
The Belden 1694A Coaxial Video Cable is a high-performance 75 Ohm RG-6 SDI cable designed for serial digital video signal transmission in marine and offshore environments. It features an 18 AWG solid bare copper conductor, foam polyethylene insulation, and a foil plus 95% tinned copper braid shield for low signal loss, high return loss strong EMI protection, and excellent performance up to 6 GHz.
The marine offshore cable, built for fixed installations both indoors and outdoors, the 1694A includes a PVC jacket, UL CMR fire rating, and UV-resistant options for open-deck and aerial use. With 82% velocity of propagation and tight impedance control, it ensures reliable video transmission for systems like UHDTV, HD-SDI 1080p, and other high-frequency applications.
Tested to UL1666 and compliant with global safety cable standards including CE, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH, the 1694A is trusted for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and marine video and communications systems where low loss and signal integrity are critical.
