PROEL RGBCOAX5 - Multi-channel Video Cable with 5 Independent 75 Ohm Coaxial Cables
The Proel RGBCOAX5 is a professional multi-channel video cable specifically designed to meet the challenges of complex audiovisual installations. Instead of managing five loose cables prone to tangling and clutter, this model integrates five independent 75-ohm coaxial lines within a single, robust, flexible outer jacket. It is the standard tool for transmitting horizontally and vertically synced RGB video signals (RGBHV), ensuring absolute signal integrity for high-resolution applications.
Manufactured to Proel's strict quality standards, this cable ensures consistent and precise impedance, a critical factor in preventing signal reflections ("ghosting") and color loss over medium and long distances. Each of the five internal mini-coaxial connectors is individually shielded and isolated, allowing for the transmission of complex signals—such as those from computer graphics, high-end projectors, or monitoring systems—without crosstalk or external electromagnetic noise.
Its construction is designed for the professional installer: the outer cover offers excellent mechanical protection against pulling and crushing, while the internal conductors are color-coded (typically Red, Green, Blue, plus two for synchronization) to facilitate quick and error-free soldering on BNC, RCA or sub-D (VGA) connectors.
Main features
-
Multi-channel structure: 5 miniature coaxial cables housed in a single hose, optimizing space and cable organization.
-
Precision Impedance: 75 Ohms constant on each line to meet broadcast video standards and avoid image degradation.
-
Individual Isolation: Each coaxial line has its own independent dielectric and shielding to maximize channel separation.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: Outer cover designed to withstand handling on stages, mobile studios or fixed installations in channels.
-
High Purity Conductors: Manufactured with high-quality copper to ensure efficient electrical transmission and minimize attenuation.
Benefits for the installer and the user
Using Proel RGBCOAX5 radically transforms the cleanliness of an installation. By combining five signals into a single cable run, it drastically reduces cable pulling time and simplifies management in trays and racks. For the end user, this translates into a crisp image, vibrant colors, and perfect synchronization stability, eliminating flicker or visual artifacts common in lower-category cables.
Furthermore, its versatility allows it to be used not only for complete RGBHV signals, but also to break it down into multiple composite video or component video (YPbPr) signals if the installation requires it, offering total flexibility with only one type of reel in stock.
Use cases
-
Projection Installations: Connection of high brightness projectors in auditoriums and theaters using long RGBHV or VGA signals.
-
Television Studios and Post-Production: Routing of component or RGB video signals between matrices, reference monitors and editing equipment.
-
Video Wall and Digital Signage: Cabling of video walls that require precise synchronization between screens.
-
Videoconferencing Systems: Connection of high-quality analog PTZ cameras and room monitors.
-
Rack Integration: Clean internal cabling for video patch panels and matrix selectors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use this cable for component video signals (YPbPr)?
Yes, absolutely. For component video, you would only use 3 of the 5 available coaxial cables (usually Red, Green, and Blue), leaving the other two as a backup or for additional audio/sync.
-
Is it compatible with VGA connectors?
Yes, it is the ideal cable for making custom-length VGA to BNC or VGA to VGA cables, as the 5 coaxial connectors correspond to the Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync (H) and Vertical Sync (V) pins.
-
What type of connectors should I use?
Due to the gauge of the internal coaxial cables, it is recommended to use BNC or RCA connectors specifically designed for mini-coaxial cable (often requiring a smaller crimping die/jaw) or solderable connectors.
-
Does it work for SDI digital signals?
Although it's a high-quality 75-ohm cable, it's optimized for wideband analog video (RGB/VGA). For long-distance 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI signals, dedicated solid-core digital coaxial cables are recommended, although this cable can work for short digital runs.
Project description
Multichannel video cable consisting of five independent coaxial lines with a nominal impedance of 75 ohms, housed within a single, flexible, and durable PVC outer jacket. Each internal conductor is individually shielded and dielectrically isolated to ensure interference-free separation of RGB and sync (H/V) signals. High-purity copper conductors are optimized for high-resolution analog video transmission. Internal color-coded identification facilitates termination. Designed for fixed installations, broadcast, and professional audiovisual applications.
