The Elite Core CSA-7 is a premium 7FT 3G-SDI coaxial extension cable designed for high-performance video and audio transmission in professional stage and touring environments. This cable is meticulously crafted at the Elite Core headquarters in Conway, Arkansas, where skilled technicians use only the finest materials and the most effective manufacturing techniques to produce a cable that delivers exceptional reliability and signal integrity. The CSA-7 features BNC male connectors on both ends, ensuring secure and stable connections for digital video-SDI, AES3id, and SPDIF digital audio applications, making it perfect for demanding broadcast, AV installations, and live production settings.
The CSA-7 utilizes a 50-Ohm RG8/X cable with a 16 AWG bare copper conductor. This solid conductor, made from ASTM bare copper, ensures high-quality signal transmission with minimal resistance. The gas-injected polyethylene (PE) insulation provides excellent dielectric properties, helping to maintain signal integrity and reduce attenuation, even over longer distances. The cable is shielded with a 95% bare copper braid, offering superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensuring the cleanest, most reliable signal possible in environments with high electrical noise.
The cable's PVC jacket provides additional durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it well-suited for the rigors of stage and touring environments. The insulation and conductor stranding, consisting of 19x29 strands, provide enhanced flexibility while maintaining robust performance under heavy usage. The CSA-7 is designed with precision to deliver excellent performance in high-bandwidth 3G-SDI applications, with its 95% shield coverage offering optimal EMI protection. With a nominal outer diameter of 0.242 inches, this cable strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and ruggedness, making it easy to manage while offering the durability required for professional setups.
