Introduction

Neutrik’s data connector range copes with the increasing demand of digital connections in the professional audio, broadcast and entertainment industry. Networking and computerized controls have to be equipped with reliable and rugged interconnection systems, since conventional data connectors can not meet the demanding requirements of live / rental or broadcast applications. Neutrik early understood this trend and realized a range of ruggedized connection systems based on standard digital interconnection products like fiber optic and network interconnections as well as Digital Interfaces like USB, Firewire and now as well HDMI.

Fiber Optic

Some years ago fiber optic has been used for speciality cabling like HD broadcast cameras only. 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 multiple, some examples are:

• Network (Audio, Data or DMX) trans-

missions with >70 m (mobile) or >100 m (installation) length, based on Pro Equip ment (e.g. Mixers) offering fiber optic connections or using a fiber optic switch

• Digital HD video transmissions > 15 m

(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 applica tions with help of Pro Equipment or media converters

The trend to use connectors out of the Datacom / Computer industry for Pro Audio and Broadcast applications (RJ45 connectors) did also not stop short of fiber optic connectivity. Conventional Datacom fiber optic connectors like ST, SC or LCs are optimized for one time permanent connection but can not 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.

Design Criteria

Neutrik as connectivity specialist for rough entertainment applications solved these 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.

The opticalCON system is based on LC 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.

opticalCON QUAD and opticalCON

are based on the proven optical-

MTP CON DUO conzept but are, with 4 or respectively 12 fiber channels, focused to POINT-TO-POINT interconnections. These systems copes with the increasing need for fiber optic channels. opticalCON is more than a connector, the optimized connection system includes a variety of customized rugged cables, drums, breakout and pulling solutions. Well-known equipment manufacturers of pro equipment as well as key users in broadcast and rental / touring trust in the opticalCON. It is our goal to turn it to an industry standard comparable to the widely used etherCON series.
