Need cable

Anybody know where I can get 250 feet of 3G-SDI cable for direct burial underground, and with connectors on the ends? I might be talked into 6G-SDI if the price is not exorbitantly high. This will be used to send a video signal between buildings and the video will not be more than 1080P.
 
1694A is not rated for direct burial. It's riser rated. From my brief search of Belden's site, they don't make a 3 GHz tested direct burial cable. I would call Markertek and see what they suggest. Otherwise you can run a conduit and pull the 1694 through it.
 
Run a conduit, and make it a big one because the cost is in digging the trench. But with conduit, they can often push it under the ground which is often cheaper than digging.

Bury nothing smaller than 4 inch conduit, I'd go 6 or 8 inches if allowed because once you have a single thing connected you will always be asked to put a second thing in place.
