Dual Link SDI Signal to Single link?

I am looking at possibly working with an F35 on a future project and was wondering if anyone knew of a cable or device that could allow a dual link SDI signal from the camera to get into a more modern atomos recorder and retain the full 4:4:4 signal?
 
Dual link SDI, oof. That takes me back 17 years to flying Genesis, F35 and D20/21's to outboard recorders. I had special lightweight 6' dual jumpers made up that were the most flexible possible given the solid core (they were still much more stiff than I would have preferred) and experimented with many different ways to fasten them together to keep them from turning into an even less flexible single cable--I think it ended up being little loops attached to one cable so the other could articulate separately next to it. It was a strange era. Cable loop just visible undernearth my hands, it went up and over my left shoulder and coupled with the full-size cable loom on my back.8andybarker-gigapixel-low_res-scale-2_00x.jpg

Hi Mike.
Thanks for the post.
Similarly, I have the Atomos SUMO19 recorder. What was your cabling solution to send the dual-link SDI into the Atomos recorder?
 
Atomos Sumo is 10-bit 422 only. So what are you trying to achieve? Just plug a single bnc in and rec.

no “cabling” whatever that means.

correct me if I’m wrong Atomos does not make 444 hd recorder.

There are multiplexer which can combine the A and B into single 3G cable but you should do some research on what limited recorders can see a 12-bit 444 signal, hint atomos or black magic can’t.
