SMPTE 311M, single-mode fiber optic and copper hybrid camera cable terminated with SMPTE 304M connectors for High Definition video camera to CCU interconnect. Gepco HD hybrid fiber utilizes two single-mode fibers for high bit-rate data transmission and copper elements for auxiliary and signal electrical connections. Each fiber is coated with a special nylon-based compound (for three times the breaking strength as conventional coated fiber) and Kevlar wrapped with a PVC jacket for additional strength (12mm version). All Gepco HD camera cables also now feature a heat-resistant copper insulation material for more dependable performance in high temperature environments. Shielding and grounding from the camera to CCU is provided by a dense 95% tinned copper braid, while a flexible PVC or extra-rugged polyurethane jacket adds overall protection and durability. The face end of each F2 fiber contact in the connector is machine polished through a unique, multistage polishing process that achieves excellent optical clarity and alignment.
