Lemo 3K.93C Connector Series
The LEMO 3K.93C connector series has proven itself in many different applications from studio and stadium installations to regular OB van use. The system has increasingly been used at all major Olympic events, and will be found at Madison Square Gardens, the Royal Opera House and most of the football arenas in Germany. Manufactured in stainless steel, the 3K.93C connector incorporates the highly reliable LEMO push-pull latching system and is suitable for up to 20,000 mating cycles and above. The LEMO HDTV Camera connectors use the F2 type Fibre Optic contact. This contact employs ceramic technology in order to achieve optical performance of the highest standard. Simple and fast polishing ensures physical contact of the fibre end faces, and the same basic contact is used in all of the connector models.

Mini 3G HD/SDI Transmitter and Receiver
Mini HD/SDI modules are miniature fibre optic serial digital video transmission modules that offer the industrys' broadest range of digital rates while maintaining the signal quality that broadcasters demand. No matter what your format, the modules allow you to transmit: - SMPTE 424M/297M (1080p -- 2.97Gbps) - SMPTE 292M/297M (HDTV -- 1.485Gbps) - SMPTE 259M/297M (SDTV -- 270/360Mbps) The transmitter accepts a 75ohm coaxial input and converts it into an optical stream via a standard ST connector. The receiver unit reconverts the uncompressed signal back to BNC output. At just three inches in length, these tiny modules can be deployed almost anywhere. The transmitter modules include equalization for long lengths of coaxial cable, so you can use them at nearly any point in your HD/SDI chain. Both the transmitter and receiver modules include LED indicators to display Power On, HD/SDI signal presence and Received Optical Power levels. These provide critical system diagnostic information at a glance without a need for additional test equipment, such as an optical power meter. The modules use their own power supply or accept any DC voltage from 5 to 16 volt. No vulnerable power dongles to break off. This jack also includes provisions for SNMP monitoring.

Stratos Hermaphroditic HMA Series
The HMA series connector is a small hybrid hermaphroditic connector suited for a vast array of applications. The innovative design ensures its ability for deployment in the toughest of environments where high performance and total reliability are critical. Benefiting from the Stratos expanded beam technology, the precision optical alignment system creates immunity from water, mud, dust oil and other contaminants. The HMA hermaphroditic coupling eliminates the need for adaptors and male and female mating halves. Hermaphroditic housings allow for rapid deployment, creating low loss singlemode, multimode and hybrid daisy chained links in a variety of platforms ranging from simplex fibre to a copper hybrid. The HMA is ideally suited for environmental extremities where low maintenance and quick repairabilty is necessary, and the connectors can be field installable and rapidly field repairable.
