I work in film, video, and stage, and would need to do frequent connects and disconnects for location and equipment changes. Would this cable hold up?

We use this for our monthly video shoot sometimes in office space, sometimes in warehouse space. Our workload for the cable is significantly less than yours so I can't answer your question accurately. BUT I can answer the question behind your question (Is there an HDMI cable out there that is better suited and built for my rigorous workload?). I think it would be difficult to find a HDMI cable that is better built and better quality than this. I am VERY happy. The cable "covering" is very durable. We run it through drop ceilings all around a bunch of heavy equipment, video and lighting gear. Definitely recommend.

this cable will work fine...it's just that you won't get traffic updates..as in accidents or congestion..other than that it will work fine...not a big deal.

Hello Zachary,Our cable can handle a gigabit environment fro 100ft runs. Thanks for your question!Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

Yes, this is excellent quality cable. I've used it both in studio and portable applications, with no problems of any kind. Highly recommend.

The quality of your shows/movies will primarily depend on your connection speed. While the cable can impact it if it's a shoddy one, it generally won't effect it too much. Those are my experiences anyway.

We actually bought this to monitor an output source during one of our company's live meetings. It handled a live video feed just fine through the HDMI input. Not sure exactly what issue you might be facing.

I should work. The unit comes with multiple cable options for different connections.

I have mine run behind drywall now. So I would say yes. I will caution the cables are not the highest quality. After about a year 2 of 3 cables went bad and white spots started to appear during playback.

I would not waste my time on the cable. It was good for about a year then just fell apart.

Scott, I do not believe that this wiring is rated for any such conditions as running it in areas where it is constantly exposed to adverse conditions. (Although I don't know this for a fact.) I do know that I personally went through quite a few sets of these leads due to damage of different sorts until I got wise enough to protect them in wire conduit, flex, or other wire raceways. My suggestion would be to use a different type of cables like a RG-59 coax combined with a bigger gauge power lead for any critical areas that might be exposed to bad conditions. (This is assuming that you have a little more room for wall penetrations, etc. because this other cable is quite a bit larger in diameter.) But they are rated for all adverse conditions without extra layers of protection needed, however these cables are not available from Amazon and are readily available from other sources. These bigger cables are what the professional security companies use whenever they are not installing a completely wireless system. Remember that these "videoSecu" or cables work just fine in ideal conditions BUT as I have stated in my review--------These cables are at most a bare-bones minimum gauge and insulation to get the job done. And I am a electrical contractor that knows wire and it's properties. I hope that this is of some help to you. NOTE: The other cables are more expensive but worth every penny if you are installing in exposed conditions or areas where possible damage due to temperature, U.V. rays, constant high humidity or wetness conditions exist.

I have seen no drop in performance but with any cable there is slight resistance over the length. With this what you would lose should be negligible.

If you're worried about durability, than yes you can run this in a wall with other video cables. The cable itself does not feel cheap by any means.

I haven't disassembled the cable, but it does seem stiffer than Cat 5 cable, I think because of the plastic part in the middle that separates the wires. Yes, it works fine for a gigabit connection.

the unit is fine for repeated pluggings and unpluggings,Ive relocated it twice already without problems, the unit seems sturdy, the cable clips are more of what you need to worry about

I've used this cable throughout my new house... I didn't realize it was underground rated... NP though and the price was still right... Had issues with some quad connectors not fitting, but that's on them, not the cable.

The price and quality is the difference... For this one, since you'll be operating your cameras 24/7, it should be capable of withstanding the hot heat generated from elecricity. The wire might be a bit bigger (thicker) and the bigger the wires are, the longer they last. If the wires are thin (small) it won't be able to stand up to too much demands, therefore causing the wires to burn out faster and damage your camera system. (i know this because i'm currently taking electrical class in college right now, studying electricity and electrical fundamentals).

i bought my cable also 18 AWG to replace the existing cable that comes with my security camera, the original cable introduces lots of noise on the video, but when i replaced it with a cable similar to FLEX6 series, i got clean video, i haven't try the cable that you mentioned, i just read the spec so i cannot tell if its better or worse, but i can tell its comparable.
