Billy nice video. The Yellow tab next to the handle when slightly pushed down will give you a straight cut in order to peel off the cut jacket

Maybe it's "Con AIr" - just like the movie ? ))) Thanks for the instruction video!

Why is the boot not pushed further up to meet the connector's grip? Filmtool's Canare Digital Flex cables look the same, but with the boot evidently being installed/pushed further.

I am having issues with the T-100E cutter and my cable depth for the 5.5 cable. I just cannot get the setting right. Any chance you ever measured your settings and have them?

Not familiar with these cables but before you pretty it up so much looks just like RG6/59. Anyway, I guess my question relates to that needle piece you stick on the end. It's hollow and and fits on the center conductor, so therefore it's thicker. But it does make me wonder how that helps anything performance-wise. Any reason why these cables aren't just made using a longer center conductor? Also, when I did cable work ages ago, we were taught to make the center conductor short so the cable loses as few dB's as possible. By using the needle it's basically the same scenario as making the cable with an extra long center conductor. Yet somehow these cables carry more content on them.

This cable/connector is designed with portability in mind, that's the main difference. Where as a traditional F connector in a traditional home cable TV application could stay in place for years, the SDI cable using a BNC connector is disconnected/connected daily in portable applications. The 1/4 turn vs the F nut is a huge time saver. The needle tip is for longer term durability in this portable application. It also has a tapered tip to make mating with the jack easier.

@@JWolff-md3ij Video systems of many types used in hospitals use SDI cables as the video signal cable. 12G is needed for 4K and/or 3D signals. These systems are connected and disconnected or a regular basis and needs the longevity of a special needle instead of the naked center conductor. As for signal loss, this is a digital signal and can be boosted in strength and cleaned up for noise, unlike the old analogue signals in old cable TV.

You can leave off the center pin and cut the conductor longer, it works in a pinch. It's ghetto and the wrong way to do it though.

what the hell of the step of "then you throw that really expensive piece on the floor there.. " lol
