The HDRA features optical contacts, ceramic alignment sleeves, metal connector shells, dust caps, an extra-large designation strip, and is expandable up to four channels.
Broadcast cable supplier Gepco will debut a new 2RU hybrid fiber distribution rack at the upcoming NAB convention. As the latest addition to Gepco’s HDR series, the HDRA features an angled front panel that reduces connector protrusion and cable strain.
The HDRA provides a simplified solution for the onsite installation of SMPTE hybrid fiber interconnections. Each hybrid fiber connector is broken out to separate single-mode fiber ST connectors and an electrical five-pin connector. This allows camera sources to be run over separate fiber optic and electrical cable elements. Component level termination enables simplified ST and electrical termination methods, eliminating the need for specialized hybrid fiber termination methods.
The HDRA system also offers improved serviceability, allowing for faster repair of camera connector positions. If a fiber contact is damaged or worn, the contact jumpers can be replaced onsite, eliminating the need to completely cut and re-terminate a standard hybrid fiber connector.
The HDRA features optical contacts, ceramic alignment sleeves, metal connector shells, dust caps, an extra-large designation strip, and is expandable up to four channels. In addition, five and six channel versions are available on special order.
