Know before you buy
Blunt leads mean the power ends of the cable are unterminated, allowing you to hardwire them into your specific power distribution system or custom breakout box. This provides flexibility for unique studio or field setups where standard connectors might not fit.
Yes, this cable is designed for HDTV signals and supports data transport speeds ranging from 19.4 Mbps up to 3 Gbps. It is fully compliant with ARIB and SMPTE standards for professional broadcast environments.
The cable features a flexible PVC jacket and a tinned copper braid shield, which provides a good balance of protection and maneuverability. While it is built for professional use, the PVC construction is designed to withstand the rigors of standard production environments.
This cable utilizes dual ST fiber connectors. These are machine-polished to ensure low insertion and return loss, providing a reliable, high-quality signal connection for your fiber runs.
Because this is a hybrid breakout cable with blunt power leads and ST fiber connectors, you will need to ensure your breakout boxes or chassis-mounted equipment are compatible with these specific connection types. It is intended to bridge connections between two breakout points rather than plugging directly into a camera.
