WHAT CABLES TO USE TO CONNECT BMD UNITS?

Hello all,

I am new the BMD Products. Can I make my own BNC cables to connect units or to connect cameras to BMC equipment? Are the cables OK if made out of my in stock cable spool and BNC Connectors I have on hand, like the RG6 coaxial cable and BNC 3-piece connectors? May be a little stiff, but it's what I have. Where can you find bulk cables of any type in the 18" and 24" ranges? Any other suggestions? I made 1000's of these BNC RJ6, 58 and 59 cables while doing SD Productions.

What's the best cables for BMD equipment and the the RJ45, ethernet connections, also? These internet cables can run pretty long too, right? Let me know! Thank you all, Duker @ Doom Productions

I made some cables myself for my 1080i50 BM environment (no-name HDMI Conerters to ATEM TVS „old“, Hyperdeck Studio and Decklink Mini Recorder/Monitor) with normal BNC on RG59 which work for 50m and Neutrik HD BNC connectors at Sommer Cable Vector for runs up to 100-140m.

The Ethernet specs are aprox 90m for copper cable....
