Belden Digital Coax Cable - floor plan included!!

[Guest duckling]

I will go for Canare L-5CFB, 75ohms Serial Digital Video Coaxial Cable - not sure if it is low voltage. Have to get someone to terminate with VGA connectiong.

 

Hmmm.. interesting. I am wondering how are you going to terminate L-5CFB with HD15 (vga) connectors.

 

 

Unless you mean BNC, F or RCA connectors?

 

Or do you mean Canare V5-4CFB multichannel 75ohm digital video coax cable since you are going for HTPC and that you are making a 5BNC - VGA (HD-15) cable?

 

Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Wahh...so "chim"...don't know what you're talking abt. If I want, will get others to do it...I dun know anything abt DIY!!

i think he means that the cable so thick, the head so small, must be damn difficult to do

 

unless u are going to use BNC, but quite impossible as panny only use VGA, and most likely u are not going to mod your video card to output BNC

Brudders,

 

will you guys actually consider the AWG of the cables for this length?

[limos]

I don't DIY cables too. I prefer the easy way out, pay someone to get the job done. ;D

 

For HD15 (vga) cables, according to MrWigggles of avsforum, the absolute bare minimum is 6 pins: R+,G+,B+,H,V and one ground. But with one ground you are likely to have poor video quality over long cable runs.

 

I was looking at the specs of Canare L-5CFB, there are only 3 wires - 1)center conductor, 2)aluminium foil & 3)woven braid shield. Unless you make another run of the same cable which make up to 6 wires? If this is the case, you will need to wrap 2 5CFB together. Wow! its gonna be thick and see above comments.

 

Will be visiting Robert of LHS soon and ask him whether he wants to make 40ft V5-4CFB with HD15 connectors.

i also agree that long VGA(RGB) or component with short digital cable will be a better solution...unless your projecter only accept composite(so call "video input" )...then long video cable will disgrade the pic quality...

 

do your projecter had a component input....?

 

if had,try 2 use it rather than using the 15 pin VGA(RGB) will give u better pic quality....

 

VGA(15 pin)cable normally are design for computer and it will not give the best result at HT projecter unless u split the cable into 5 BNC RGB connecter(normally u will see this kind of input at those outdated...or "hi end" 3 guns projector) ...

 

hope u unterstand what i mean... :)

Unfortunately for the Panny AE-100 projector, the reverse is true. The VGA input gives the best result compared to the component input.

hi jeffong ,

mu........that i dont know lah...cos i didnt own a AE-100....... :-\

 

so far i tried up my sanyo SW-10,my friend's sharp xv-z9000,marantz 12s1,hitachi cp-s225 all agree that the

Y/Pb/Pr is better than the 15pin-RGB input....maybe cos we did not try to connect 2 the PC....

 

but anyway...may i know who give this conclusion that AE-100's VGA input gives the best result ,did he own a AE-100 and how did he do the compare?...thanks :)

This conclusion was derived from numerous viewing of the AE-100 owned by the various XP members including myself.

hi,

may i know .....how u compare?..using PC VGA 2 compare with a progressive scan DVD Player Y/Pb/Pr?....just curious..... :)

[htfreak]

Well some of the setups I have seen include :-

1. HTPC w/ Panny (VGA)

2. Q50 w/ Panny (VGA using transcoder)

3. Q50 w/ Panny (Component)

4. Nintaus w/ Panny (VGA)

5. Nintaus w/ Panny (Component)

try 2 explain..

 

actually when i said component input better than 15 pin VGA ,mainly is becos of the differ kind of cable use for 15 pin and component cable....

 

component use 3 set of cable which almost totally isolated from each other while the 15 pin (not matter using Y/Pb/Pr or RGB..),even they got isolation....they sqeeze all the signal in 1 tiny cable,so u can imagine the crosstalk within the signal.....

 

 

once again hope u unterstand what i mean... :)

 

sorry 4 my poor english.. :-[

sorry dont understand ::)

 

what is "Nintaus"...

 

what is "Panny"...

 

Q50?is it philips DVDP??

 

thank... :)

 

 

 

 

oh...panny....the AE-100...right? ;D

Thanks duckling for introducing me to this wonderful HT forum.

 

I am from Singapore.

 

Me using Belden 1506A for all my digital connection in my HT, terminated with Canare TRUE 75ohm RCA connectors.

 

The sound of this 75ohm cable is smoother than normal 50ohm giveaways ... cost about S$25, i can't remember.

 

I bought them from Mr. Robert, Sim Lim Tower, 2nd floor, coner, near the escalator. (sorry, I forgot the shop name). He has lots of DIY cables from Canare and Belden and whathaveyou.

 

Always use 75ohm for digital or otherwise specified, but NOT 50ohm.

I guess you're refering to LHS at SLT!! Thanks anyway.

that's right ;D LHS ..
