HD-BNC cable assemblies for broadcast applications

31-10-2022 | Amphenol | Industrial

Amphenol RF has expanded its industry-leading 12G product portfolio to incorporate pre-configured HD-BNC cable assemblies providing panel mount jack connectors on the popular Belden 4855R cable type. Panel mount interconnects remove the requirement for panel adapters, representing cost- and space-saving within the design. 12G SDI products are employed in various 4K and Ultra-HD broadcast applications, including digital signage and video editing.

Pre-configured HD-BNC cable assemblies are smaller than conventional BNC assemblies while delivering the same features and benefits. The familiar bayonet coupling mechanism supplies quick and secure mating and unmating. Reliable 12G performance makes these assemblies excellent for studio patch panels and 4K-UHD products, which need high bandwidth.

This 75-Ohm assembly operates up to 12GHz and uses a straight bulkhead jack on one end and a straight plug on the other. The RF connectors are engineered employing brass with nickel plating, beryllium copper, and phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating. This robust solution satisfies all SMPTE standards and is obtainable in multiple lengths, and custom lengths available upon request.
