Know before you buy
This cable features a ruggedized PUR jacket and Neutrik opticalCON ADVANCED connectors, which provide a waterproof, dust-proof, and locking connection. It is specifically engineered to withstand harsh environments and high-traffic areas where standard fiber cables would likely fail.
Yes, the Neutrik opticalCON DUO connectors are based on LC-Duplex technology. While the housing is ruggedized for field use, the internal interface remains compatible with standard LC-Duplex fiber equipment.
The cable is built with a tactical tight-buffered design and a durable PUR jacket, allowing it to support a maximum tensile load of 600 Newtons. While it is designed for durability, it is still a fiber optic cable and should be handled with care to avoid sharp bends or crushing.
OM4 is a high-bandwidth, laser-optimized multimode fiber that supports faster data rates over longer distances compared to older OM2 or OM3 standards. It is an ideal choice for professional audio and video applications requiring reliable, high-speed data transmission.
The Neutrik opticalCON system uses a secure push-pull locking mechanism that ensures the connector stays firmly in place once plugged in. This prevents accidental disconnects during live events and provides a sealed, protective connection against environmental debris.
This cable is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. This wide range ensures reliable performance in extreme weather conditions, from freezing outdoor shoots to hot, high-intensity production environments.
