West Penn Wire HD825BK1000 Mini Coax Cable 25 Awg Sdi

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE HD825BK1000 is a miniature coaxial cable engineered for Serial Digital Interface (SDI) signal transmission. Built to 25 AWG, this shielded cable is constructed for plenum-rated installations, meeting the stricter smoke and flame requirements of air-handling spaces. The black jacket identifies standard field runs, and the 1000-foot spool length suits larger commercial or multi-zone pulls without mid-run splices. Installers working in broadcast, security, or AV distribution rely on this cable type for low-loss, high-frequency signal integrity over structured runs.

This cable is suited for plenum air-handling spaces in commercial buildings where NEC Article 800 and related plenum-rating requirements apply. Typical applications include SDI video distribution in broadcast facilities, professional AV systems, and security camera infrastructure. The shielded construction helps reject electromagnetic interference in environments with dense cable trays or proximity to power conduit, making it appropriate for both new construction and retrofit commercial installs.

Key Features

• 25 AWG miniature coaxial construction for compact, flexible routing in tight conduit or cable trays
• Plenum-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation
• Shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference on SDI signal runs
• Black jacket finish for standard field identification and aesthetics
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splices on long commercial pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style SDI coaxial cable for use in plenum-rated commercial and professional AV or broadcast wiring applications requiring 25 AWG miniature coax.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications technician familiar with NEC Article 800 plenum cabling requirements. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating cable ends. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of miniature coaxial cable, as this can degrade shielding continuity and signal quality. Verify that all termination connectors and patch points are also plenum-rated to maintain code compliance throughout the run.
