Amphenol RF has introduced the latest development of their 12G product line, MCX connectors intended specifically for 4K/Ultra-HD broadcast applications. This expansion highlights both PCB and cable mount configurations created with the reliable push-on coupling mechanism. The connectors add to an already strong portfolio of BNC, and HD-BNC products optimised to support data transfer rates up to 12Gbps which allows the transmission of high-resolution uncompressed video signals.

The addition of 75Ohm 12G MCX connectors produces versatility in the current line, enabling customers to terminate to the board in designs where the BNC or HD-BNC is unable to be mounted directly. Using the MCX connector enables the 12G signal to be transported from the panel to the PCB employing a single transmission line without compromising the quality of the video.

Ideal applications for these connectors comprise 4K/8K video cameras, mobile broadcast, digital signage, remote viewing and video encoders and routers.
