opticalCON SMPTE cable


Pre-assembled SMPTE cable with 2 single-mode fibers (PC or APC), 2xAWG24 and 2xAWG16 stranded copper conductors, overall copperbraided shield and stainless steel strenght member, strong black PUR outer jacket for abrasion resistance. Suitable chassis connector NO2-4FD-1(-R) offers a ground contact.
Not compatible to SMPTE 344M standard. Suitable for indoor (studio) camera links considering specific conditions acc. to IEC 60664-1 like pollution degree 1, overvoltage category 1 and rated voltage. For detailed information ask for the White Paper "opticalCON @ SMPTE Indoor Applications".

The opticalCON cable connector accommodates a standard optical LC-Duplex connector in a ruggedized and durable all-metal housing. It features a push-pull locking mechanism and an excellent cable retention utilizing the aramid yarn. The optical connection is exceptional well protected against dirt and dust by an automatically operated sealing cover.
The cable connector comes pre-assembled and is not available as a single component. The cable with additional protection boot is available in different lengths and is packed either in a case, on drum or airspool.
