Description
SMPTE 311M standard is the global benchmark for broadcast camera triax replacement. This Hybrid Fiber Optic Cable combines the immense bandwidth of fiber optics with the practical need for electrical power and control signals in a single, robust jacket. By integrating single-mode optical fibers, multi-mode optical fibers, and copper power conductors, it delivers superior performance over long distances without signal degradation. The inclusion of a protective metal reel guarantees that your critical cable is stored, transported, and deployed safely, significantly extending its operational lifespan and protecting your investment.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
● Broadcast-Grade Compliance: Fully meets the SMPTE 311M standard, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of broadcast cameras and base station equipment from major manufacturers.
● Hybrid, All-in-One Design: Combines fiber optics for HD-SDI/4K video, audio, and data signals with copper conductors for camera power and control, drastically reducing cable bulk and setup time.
● Superior Signal Integrity: Leverages fiber optic technology for immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), enabling flawless signal transmission over extended distances.
● Rugged & Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of field production, featuring a tough, abrasion-resistant outer jacket that protects against moisture, crushing, and frequent handling.
