Meanwhile digital signal and network applications in pro audio, broadcast and touring / rental spring up like mushrooms which opens a wide range of fiber optic use. THE APPLICATION DEPTH IS EXTENSIVE, SOME EXAMPLES ARE • Network (Audio, Data or DMX) transmissions with >70m (mobile) or >100 m • • • • • (installation) length, based on pro equipment (e.g. mixers) offering fiber optic connections or using a fiber optic switch Digital HD video transmissions > 15m (e.g. DVI, HDMI or KVM projection) using fiber optic media converters Future prove installations eliminating bandwidth limitations Noise and EMI protection on audio or video (LED walls) applications Increased bandwidth especially on broadcast applications Signal embedding to minimize cabling efforts especially on broadcast applications with help of pro equipment or media converters The trend to use connectors out of the data communication / computer industry for pro audio and broadcast applications (RJ45 connectors) did also not stop short of fiber optic connectivity. Conventional data communication fiber optic connectors like ST, SC or LC are optimized for permanent one time connection but cannot meet the rough requirements of mobile applications and high mating cycles as required for the entertainment industry. By necessity used military connectors have been expensive and showed either high attenuation and return loss or no dust protection. opticalCON 3 Design Criteria opticalCON Neutrik as connectivity specialist for rough entertainment applications solved mobile fiber optic connectivity problems when launching the opticalCON DUO fiber optic connection system in 2005. The reliable and simple concept has proven its ruggedness and low maintenance which led to a wide acceptance in the pro audio and broadcast industry. Well-known equipment manufacturers of pro equipment as well as key users in broadcast and rental / touring trust in the opticalCON DUO. It is our goal to turn it to an industry standard comparable to the widely used etherCON series. The system is based on LC-Duplex connectors but eliminates its weakness and guarantees a safe, dust protected and rugged connection. Being compatible to conventional LC connectors the opticalCON DUO offers the choice of using cost effective LC cables or the rugged opticalCON mobile cable assembly. This final user flexibility choosing a cost effective LC for system integration or a rugged cable for mobile applications is appreciated by OEMs. The opticalCON DUO is used for various audio, lighting and video applications. Typically examples are audio and DMX network (ring switch) applications, video projection based on fiber optic DVI, HDMI, or KVM signal converters or mobile video LED panels as well as various broadcast applications. With the high bandwidth requirements of HD video displays copper connectivity is extremely short (<20m), mobile Ethernet based network cables are limited with a length of about 70m only and broadcast has to deal with both, high bandwidth and long distance. The opticalCON fiber optic connection system eliminates these limitations, the lightweight solution safes setup time and cost compared to heavy copper multicore installation. Critical EMI problems as known on DMX network and especially LED panels are solved as well. The new opticalCON QUAD is based on the proven opticalCON DUO connection system but with 4 channels it is optimized for POINT-TO-POINT interconnections. The system copes with the increasing need for fiber optic channels, offers an armoured X-TREME cable for highest reliability and helps to minimize different connection standards with an innovative TRIPLE-SPLIT 12-channel solution. 4 opticalCON Features & Benefits opticalCON DUO opticalCON QUAD MOBILE USE – RUGGED – LOW MAINTENANCE ruggedizzed metal housing ruggedizzed metal housing spring loaded push pull locking mechanism sealing shutter spring loaded push pull locking mechanism sealing shutter protection boot protection boot SIMPLE INTEGRATION – COST EFFECTIVE colored sealing gasket colored sealing gasket sealing shutter sealing shutter big solder cups (AWG 18) Standard LC connector compatibility Standard LC connector compatibility HYBRID MULTICHANNEL 4 copper contacts 4 fibers heavy duty cable retention 2 fibers opticalCON heavy duty cable retention 5 opticalCON DUO Cables & Applications The opticalCON DUO is the ideal solution for equipment connections and system integration offering LC compatibility on chassis connector front and rear.

Breakout Box LC patch cable OEM Equipment OEM Equipment Equipment Rack Cable Wiring In order to achieve uniform and compatible systems we recommend to follow the hook up suggestions of the ISO / IEC 11801 which define channel A (right) as input and B (left) as output. EXTRACT OF THE ISO / IEC 11801 PATCH CORD TERMINATION CONFIGURATION »It is recommended that connection of patch cords and equipment cords to the duplex adapter be made by means of a duplex connector assembly. Optical fibre patch cords, whether they are used for cross-connection or interconnection to equipment, shall be of a crossover orientation such that Position A goes to Position B on one optical fibre, and Position B goes to Position A on the other optical fibre of the optical fibre pair (Figure 17). Each end of the optical fibre patch cord shall be identified to indicate Position A and Position B if the connector can be separated into its simplex components. For alternate connector designs utilising latches, the latch defines the positioning in the same manner as the keys. For simplex connectors, the connector that plugs into the receiver shall be considered Position A, and the connector that plugs into the transmitter shall be considered Position B.« = Connector opticalCON = Position “A” = Position “B” 13 Technical Data Connectors OPTICAL opticalCON DUO Cable Chassis Optical connector LC-Duplex Fiber M, SM PC, SM APC  Insertion loss < 0.5 dB / connection opticalCON QUAD Cable Chassis LC-Duplex PC Feedthrough LC-Duplex (rear)                 - -   4 4 (5)       1 - - - - - - - - - -  MECHANICAL < > > > > Insertion / withdrawal force Lifetime Cable retention force Fiber only Hybrid SMPTE ELECTRICAL 45 N 1`000 cycles 500 N 500 N 350 N - - - - Number of electrical contacts Rated current 6 A 10 A (contact 1+4) Contact resistance < 7 mΩ Insulation resistance - initial: > 10 GΩ - after damp heat test: > 1 GΩ Dielectric strength 1500 V dc Rated voltage 50 V ac NKO2M-4S75* NKO2S(A)-SMPTE*     1 MATERIAL Shell Zinc diecast (ZnAl4Cu1) Insert / Insulation Insert colour Contacts - male: - female: Contact surface Strain relief Bushing Boot Slit sleeve (hard Nickel / Ruthenium plating) Polyamid PA 6, PBT 30% GR, PBT 50% GR MM: black, SM PC: blue, SM APC: green Brass (CuZn39Pb3) Bronze (CuSn6) Gold (gal 0.2 µm Au over 2 µm Ni) POM (brass) ZnAI4Cu1 EPDM, rubber boot              - -       - - - - ceramics -  - - -    -        - - ENVIRONMENTAL Operating temperature -25°C to +75°C flammability UL94 HB Solderability complies with IEC 68-2-20 1 ...

They also use opticalCON fiber systems under extremely harsh outdoor conditions to distribute digital audio between delay systems (loudspeaker delay) on their larger outdoor festival situations in the US and Europe. The inherent bulk of the opticalCON system works far better for Clair than previous lightweight fiber systems as it lays flatter and is less susceptible to kinks and being caught up under chairs and stairways in typical arena situations. Clair Brothers is the world‘s largest touring company specialized in sound and staging.

The production requires frequent reconnection of links to cameras in a dusty environment, the shutters seal proved effective in preventing dust contamination of fibres. The low voltage camera cable is a cost effective fiber optic hybrid cable solution and a great SMPTE cable alternative if only low voltage is required. The ultra flexible and lightweight (65 kg/km) design is optimized for camera link systems (e.g. for ENG / SNG1), camera adapter systems, camera cranes and powered drop down converter boxes for broadcast applications where only ELV2 (< 50Vac) is required. »A PARTICULAR BENEFIT TO BORIS TELEVISION LTD HAS BEEN THE ABILITY TO CARRY ENOUGH CABLE TO SUPPORT 8 CAMERAS WITH A RANGE OF 150 M EACH WITHOUT REQUIRING ADDITIONAL LOGISTICAL SUPPORT TO CARRY CABLE TO THE LOCATION, THE LIGHT WEIGHT BEING A FURTHER BENEFIT IN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY ASPECT OF CABLE HANDLING WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER TRIAX OR SMPTE FIBRE SYSTEMS.

The system guarantees with the sealing shutter high mating cycles on minimized maintenance. Typically in high quantity used chassis connectors are simple to install (LC compatible) and very cost effective compared to other robust fiber optic connection systems. Especially the opticalCON DUO is perfectly suitable for System Integrations, offering LC compatibility on the chassis front (cost effective permanent LC patch cables) as well as the possibility for a hybrid transmission as used for camera powering. Boris TV uses the opticalCON DUO on the low voltage cable (e.g. Desmet Studios/Amsterdam) to reconfigure camera and cable set ups from one studio to another frequently, the system is proving effective in this environment and reliably reconnecting after moves.
