Know before you buy
Yes. The L-3CFW features a dual copper braid design that provides the flexibility required for mobile applications where cables are frequently coiled and moved.
Yes, it is fully compliant with SMPTE 259M, 292M, and 424M standards, ensuring it can reliably handle 1080p and 720p video signals.
The solid copper center conductor provides superior signal integrity and lower attenuation compared to copper-clad steel, which is essential for maintaining high-quality video over long runs.
While it is specifically engineered for 75-ohm digital video, its high-quality construction makes it perfectly capable of handling analog audio or video signals that require a 75-ohm impedance.
No, this is a 984-foot bulk spool. You will need to cut the cable to your desired lengths and install your own BNC connectors.
The L-3CFW is a precision-manufactured broadcast cable designed for high-frequency digital signals, offering tighter tolerances and better shielding than standard consumer-grade coaxial cables.
