I purchased 3 of these for SDI video transmission for an event. None of them ended up working. I checked it with other cables a few weeks later. it ended up that all of the monoprice cables were not working for our cameras, but the hacked together coax was working just fine.

Bought a bunch of these for use in our HD video production rig. The description said, "professional video use". Monoprice should explain that these particular cables are NOT compatible with HD-SDI equipment. The cables simply did not work (100' and 50'). Monoprice took them back, but I still had to pay for the shipping.

PROS: Great build and durable feel, very good price

CONS: Not HD-SDI compatible

I purchased 2 of these to use with my Canon XF305 camera to whatever video switcher/capture device I was using during a shoot and these cables never worked. They work fine for composite video transmission or anything with a lower data rate. I tried with Blackmagic ATEM Switcher, Blackmagic Intesity Extreme, Intensity Extreem Pro, Roland V800HD.

PROS: Cable is very flexible, easy to wrap, good jacket, ends seem solid.

CONS: Does NOT WORK for HD-SDI transmission!

These cables are not rated for HD-SDI signal.
Cannot use to connect with HD-SDI source.
This should be mentioned in the description by Monoprice to avoid grief for all buyers.

I ended-up buying bulk Belden 1505A and 1694A cables to build HD-SDI cables. These would work perfectly even with 250 feet runs.

PROS: May work with standard composite video.

CONS: Will not work with HD-SDI video.

I've ordered from Monoprice several times now and their prices and customer service are excellent. The only thing I would like them to improve is their selection of more professional video products. I highly recommend them.

Great cable and well constructed. Arrived quickly and was reasonably priced.

5/5

PROS: it's all good with these guys!

We are using this cable and others at various length to run cameras, hd switcher and hd projectors with HD-SDI and they work great! No complaints.

PROS: Cheap and quick delivery

CONS: None

5/5

PROS: As with everything I have so far purchased from Monoprice it arrived quickly and was made of really high quality materials. I order all my cables and adapters from Monprice.

I feel bad giving this 3 stars. It's not the cable's fault or Monoprice's fault. It's mine for not believing what others said. A friend of mine recommended these cables and told me that for him they worked fine as HD-SDI cables. He's a professional and so I trusted him instead of what other people wrote here. The funny thing is that when I first got the cables and plugged them in, they seemed to work fine as HD-SDI cable. I even tested them in various applications. All worked fin in my office. I was excited to have found such a great deal on something that worked great. However, when I took them out on a job. The signal started having problems, blinking like crazy or just going out altogether. Had to do a lot of cleanup in post because of that. Good thing we weren't doing any IMAG of live streaming. Man, do I feel dumb.

PROS: Coils easily. Lays flat. Seems to be built well.

CONS: Doesn't work as HD-SDI
