HD-SDI cables made from Belden 9221 provide very thin profile suitable for routing through tight spaces
RG-179 cables with Belden Video Brilliance jacket offer a thin option for HD-SDI applications
Canare L-3C2VS cables deliver flexibility and thinness for HD-SDI connections
Using male-to-female BNC connectors on both ends of a cable eliminates the need for separate barrel connectors and reduces potential failure points
Some thin HD-SDI cables may be too flimsy for certain camera applications and require a thicker gauge option

Discussion is from 2012 and reflects cable availability from that period
