Camplex 500' opticalCON DUO to LEMO PUW SMPTE 311 Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable

The 500' opticalCON DUO NO2SX to LEMO FUW 304M Singlemode Hybrid Outside Broadcast Cable is a premium fiber optic solution designed for the most demanding broadcast environments. Engineered with precision and durability in mind, this cable is COCA factory terminated and machine polished in a state-of-the-art Fiber Optic Lab, ensuring the highest quality and performance standards.

Crafted to meet the rigorous requirements of ruggedized applications, this cable is ideal for field deployment in commercial and professional broadcast AV applications. The Neutrik opticalCON assemblies that form the backbone of this cable are interferometrically tested to GR-326-CORE end face standards, guaranteeing superior optical performance with exceptionally low return loss and insertion loss.

The opticalCON DUO features a robust connector body, equipped with common LC contacts and a mechanical shutter system that effectively shields against end face contamination. This system is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and prolonging the lifespan of the cable. The SMPTE 311M-rated cable includes 2 singlemode fiber UPC, 2 x AWG24, and 2 x AWG16 or (2x17AWG) stranded copper conductors, an overall copper braided shield, and a stainless steel strength member for enhanced durability and EMI resistance.

While this cable is not compatible with the SMPTE 304M standard, it is perfectly suited for indoor (studio) camera links, adhering to specific conditions according to IEC 60664-1, such as pollution degree 1, overvoltage category 1, and rated voltage. The cable's assembly utilizes the Neutrik opticalCON ADVANCED system, which offers additional robustness with lockable and waterproofed metal caps, rubber guards, and an ergonomic cable strain relief that improves cable protection and water resistance for long-term outdoor use. The color-coding options also allow for custom-built coding, enhancing organizational efficiency.

The cable's connector features a rugged all-metal housing and heavy-duty cable retention, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The automatic sealing shutter with a silicone gasket offers excellent dust and dirt protection, while the reliable Push-Pull locking mechanism simplifies engagement and disengagement. Cleaning is straightforward and requires no tools, thanks to the opticalCON system's design.

Applications for this high-performance fiber optic cable are diverse and include interconnecting AV camera and CCU systems, deployable staging, and operation in harsh environments. It is also designed to adapt Lemo to opticalCON SMPTE patching systems and is compatible with Telecast, JFS, and Nemal assemblies, as well as Whirlwind configurations such as OC-SMPTE-OS-IP-0-x and OC-SMPTE-OS-IS-0-x.

In summary, the 500' opticalCON DUO to LEMO PUW SMPTE 311 Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable is a tactical, tight-buffered PUR cable that offers a tactical tight buffered PUR Cable with an optical shutter mechanism for added protection, heavy-duty tactical reel with side reel flange (TR version only), and is waterproof according to IP65 in mated condition. It accommodates standard optical LC-Duplex connectors and provides a ruggedized and dirt-protected 2-channel fiber optic connection system, making it an indispensable asset for professional broadcast and AV applications.
