STRAUBENHARDT, Germany – Although SMPTE 4K standards have not yet been resolved, a number of new high-resolution camera systems from such companies as Blackmagic Design and ATOMOS are in widespread use. The german based manufactor SOMMER CABLE is now shipping optimum quality new 6G/12G SDI products designed for the standards of tomorrow.
More details from Sommer Cable (www.sommercable.com):
Featured are a variety of glass fiber hybrid cables with two single-mode optical fiber elements for video signal transmission and power for the camera.
For this distinct solution, Sommer CABLE uses its highly flexible and compact camera cable SC-OCTOPUS PUR 244 HYBRID. Only 9 mm in diameter, the new cable is also compatible with the SMPTE 311M standard and provides excellent transmission specifications.
In addition to two single-mode fibers (9/125 µm OS2) it features four voltage power lines, 0.5 mm² (4 x AWG 20) each and two 0.22 mm² (2 x 2 x AWG 24) wire pairs for control data. A CU-braid shield, an aramid core, and an outer aramid braid below the extremely sturdy, yet flexible outer jacket provide excellent durability.
Utilizing this specialty cable, Sommer Cable offers a breakout solution that is especially designed for use with camera systems from such companies as Blackmagic Design, as well as common SD-fiber converter systems.
The cable terminates into Sommer CABLE’s Glandmaster™ splice adapter where it seamlessly ends with an LC duplex and a 4-pin XLR connector. Alternatively, another version is comprised of a breakout box that can be disconnected via SMPTE connector as termination.
You can have a look and feel on these ground-breaking products at the IBC show 2015 in Amsterdam (booth 9.C41) and also at the PLASA show 2015 in London (booth E10). We‘re looking forward to meet you there.
