I am getting confused by the terminology (no pun intended). I went to the Belden site and found no "Brilliance" 1694 cables and no quad shielded 1694 cables. Their site is hard to negociate so I may not have got into the right part. I am familiar with 1694A RG6 cable,without all the sub classes. The 8281 coaxial is a higher priced cable. The Canare L-4CFB or L-5CFB is supposed to be superior to 8281 according to the Markertek catalogue I have. Please expand this discussion for outsiders if possible. Thanks.
"Brilliance" is Belden's new marketing term encompassing their whole line of AV cables. The 1694A RG-6 SDI/HDTV (Serial Digital Interface) is what studios have been using to upgrade to Hi-Def TV broadcasts (go to bettercables.com website and click on "press release" for Belden. It talks about this cable). It can pass signals out to the gigahertz range with little loss over long distances. The "regular" 1694A is not quite as broadband, if their website specs are to be deciphered correctly. I got most of this info from e-mailing Belden directly; they're good about e-mailing responses back. The Canare you mentioned is also supposed to be good, but there are differences in shielding and bandwidth capacity. The 1694A SDI/HDTV is not cheap.
