Sommer Cable SC-Vector Plus 0.8L/3.7DZ, PUR 6.10mm UHD video cable, black (Add connector Neutrik NBNC75BJP9X) Per Meter

Cable Profile: Sommer Cable SC-Vector Plus 0.8L/3.7DZ (PUR)

The Sommer Cable 600-0161M (SC-Vector Plus) is a precision 75 Ohm coaxial cable optimized for mobile outdoor broadcasting, camera rigs, and high-density video routing.

By utilizing a rugged, cut-resistant PUR (Polyurethane) outer jacket and a specialized double copper braided shield (DZ), this cable handles tight bending radiuses and heavy physical traffic without crushing the critical gas-injected foam dielectric underneath. This ensures stable impedance and effortless transmission of 12G-SDI / 4K UHD signals over long distances.

Chosen Connector: Neutrik NBNC75BJP9X UHD BNC

When terminating the SC-Vector Plus with the Neutrik NBNC75BJP9X, you form a true 75 Ohm matching signal pathway. The UHD/X-Series connector features a re-engineered internal insulator and a slim center pin designed specifically to handle extreme frequencies up to 18 GHz (8K video targets), minimizing return loss at the termination point.

Precise Stripping Dimensions

To prepare the SC-Vector Plus cable for this specific rearTWIST BNC connector, strip the layers using the standard Neutrik 3-step configuration:

• Outer PUR Jacket (A): Remove 16.0 mm (0.63 inch) of the black outer jacket to expose the copper shielding braids.

• Double Copper Braid (B): Cut back the dual shield layers to leave 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) of exposed braid remaining. Fold the excess braid back over the outer PUR jacket uniformly.

• Foam Dielectric (C): Strip the gas-injected dielectric down to expose 4.0 mm (0.16 inch) of the solid 0.8 mm copper center conductor.

Critical Crimp Dimensions & Tooling

To secure the termination without distorting the internal cable geometry, you must use a dedicated UHD-compatible crimp frame (such as the Neutrik HX-R-BNC) fitted with the correct die set.

⚠️ Assembly Guide Warning: Standard HD BNC connectors from Neutrik typically utilize a 1.60 mm center pin cavity. However, this UHD connector requires the smaller 1.07 mm square pin crimp. If you use an older standard HD die set (like the DIE-R-BNC-PU), the pin will not be crimped tightly enough onto the 0.8 mm center core, resulting in immediate signal failure or intermittent dropouts.

Technical Performance Metrics (Combined Link)

• Ultra-High Definition Headroom: Keeps signal reflections exceptionally low across high bandwidth channels:

  • Less than or equal to 1.06 VSWR / greater than 30 dB return loss up to 6 GHz (6G-SDI benchmark)

  • Less than or equal to 1.13 VSWR / greater than 24 dB return loss up to 12 GHz (12G-SDI / 4K Broadcast standard)

• Mechanical Strength: The connector’s outer ferrule sleeve crimps over both the dual shielding braids and the tough PUR outer jacket simultaneously. This dual-grip architecture prevents the cable from pulling away from the connector during harsh field deployments.

• Antraloy Protection: The outer shell of the BNC connector is finished in Neutrik's signature dark Antraloy plating, providing extreme corrosion resistance and lasting electrical conductivity over 1,000+ mating cycles.
