I plan to make my own custom length HD-SDI cables for patching a flypack together as well as long runs to cameras from switcher. 100m or less distance runs. What brand do you prefer or recommend? Canare, Belden, Clark Wire & Cable, or Gepco. Any reason why? Specific models maybe?

I also plan to use the same brand for connectors or even Neutirk.

Interested to hear your thoughts....
 
For field cables I like Canare, both cables and connectors. Get the complete setup with their crimp tool and stripper. Not cheap, but nobody makes better quality and it is easy to make up rugged reliable cables. Termination is a breeze. I have probably put in 100k feet of their stuff over the last 20 years. Some installations more than 15 years old running on the original cable plant with no problems.

I only wish they made plenum rated cables. Required for most installs I do these days.
