Know before you buy
While the cable is built with a rugged, waterproof PUR jacket and Neutrik opticalCON connectors designed for harsh environments, it is primarily engineered for tactical field production. If used outdoors, ensure the protective caps are secured when not in use to maintain the integrity of the optical shutters.
The Neutrik opticalCON QUAD connectors are designed to be compatible with standard LC-UPC connections internally. However, you will need the appropriate opticalCON breakout or adapter system to interface this tactical cable with standard LC-based hardware.
To prevent signal loss or damage to the internal fiber strands, you should maintain a minimum bend radius of 4cm. Exceeding this limit during deployment or storage can compromise the performance of the single-mode fibers.
Yes, fiber optics are sensitive to dust and debris. Even with the integrated optical shutter, we recommend using a fiber-optic cleaning tool specifically designed for opticalCON connectors to ensure the machine-polished ends remain free of contaminants before each use.
This cable features a four-fiber single-mode configuration. This allows for multiple channels of high-performance digital audio, video, or data transmission within a single, durable tactical cable.
The cable is rated for an operating temperature range of -25°C to 75°C. This makes it highly reliable for outdoor broadcast scenarios in both cold climates and high-heat staging environments.
