The applications for fiber are extensive

A few years ago, the use of fiber optic cabling in professional AV applications was limited to such special cases as HD broadcast cameras. Since then, the AV industry's adoption of fiber optics has increased immensely. Today, fiber optics are widely used for digital signal transmission in pro audio, professional broadcast, and the touring / rental industries.

As pro audio and broadcast equipment has evolved from analog to digital data transmission, the industry has attempted to adapt connectors originally designed for data communication (e.g. RJ45 connectors for electrical transmission). Today, that trend continues with fiber optic connectors. However, conventional data communication fiber optic connectors (ST, SC, LC, etc.) have a risk of failure when they are deployed in AV applications. These conventional data connectors are optimized for permanent, one-time connection. They were never designed for mobile applications or to handle high mating cycles in harsh environments. Alternative connectors, originally developed for military applications, have not been cost effective and have been deficient either in regards to dust protection and maintenance and/or in their attenuation and return loss characteristics.

Neutrik understood these deficiencies and solved the various issues associated with mobile fiber optic connectivity when it launched its opticalCON® fiber optic line in 2005. The opticalCON® design is based on a unique concept which combines low maintenance, high mating cycles, and a safe connection in the field. As a result, opticalCON® has gained wide acceptance in the pro audio and professional broadcast industries. Both well known equipment manufacturers and key industry users have put their trust in opticalCON® for many years.

opticalCON®

The need for rugged fiber optic connections continues to grow rapidly, driven by such technologies as ultra high definition (UHD) 4K or 8K television signals running at data rates of up to 24 Gb/s. To accommodate these higher bandwidth signals, the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) has standardized opticalCON® connectors as the rugged fiber optic interface for mobile high definition television broadcasting where robust and reliable solutions are required.

Neutrik's opticalCON® system became the fiber optic standard in various markets.

SMPTE standard ST2091-1

opticalCON® ADVANCED DUO is an LC-based fiber optic connection system which is typically used for equipment connections. With built-in, automatic dust shutters and a rugged housing, the fibers are always dust protected, and high mating cycles in harsh environments are achieved. Compatibility with conventional LC connectors at both the front and the rear of the chassis connectors offers users the choice of using either cost-effective, standard LC patch cables or else ruggedized opticalCON cables.

Following on the success of opticalCON ADVANCED DUO, the opticalCON® ADVANCED QUAD series, also an LC-based connector system, doubles the fiber count to offer a rugged point-to-point connection. opticalCON® QUAD has been successfully deployed in applications such as data routing for touring / live rental, including especially OB (outdoor broadcast) applications.

opticalCON® ADVANCED MTP® increases the number of fibers in one connector up to 24 and is the ideal solution for point-to-point multi-fiber signal transmission.

As an alternative to opticalCON MTP's single 12 or 24-fiber connector, Neutrik offers a wide variety of SPLIT cable configuration. opticalCON® SPLIT offers an alternative for users of opticalCON® DUO or QUAD chassis connectors, providing advantages in regards to field assembly and potential repair cost.

Finally, Neutrik's opticalCON® LITE connectors offer a cost effective and lightweight solution. The unique design of opticalCON® LITE's tactical patch cable allows extreme bending without fiber breakage and absorbs high lateral forces. As a result, the opticalCON® LITE is an ideal choice for such permanent and semi-permanent installations as server rooms, patch fields, and indoor cabling.

Tactical Patch Cable

Conventional patch cables are sensitive in terms of under cutting the minimum bending radius and lateral pressure.

Neutrik's tactical patch cables feature unique fiber design including a protection buffer which allows bendings with minimal radius and increased lateral pressure.

Therefore the tactical patch cables are the right choice for permanent or semi-permanent applications.

opticalICON Breakout Box

• Breakout boxes are used to split multichannel connections as the opticalCON QUAD and MTP® to either dual or single channels • Dust and waterproof according to IP67 in mated condition

opticalCON Breakout Box with powerMONITOR

The breakout boxes are used to split a 4-channel point-to-point opticalICON QUAD connection. In mated condition the boxes are dust and water resistant according protection class IP54. The breakout boxes equipped with the opticalICON powerMONITOR offer attenuation measuring for all 4 channels.

The opticalCON powerMONITOR is a cost-saving, purpose-built measurement (monitoring) device for professional fiber optic broadcast, audio and video applications.

With simultaneous monitoring of attenuation for up to 4 transmission channels, powerMONITOR provides an immediate, "on air" view into fiber optic signal strength. Visual and audible alarms can be set individually for each fiber channel, based on each channel's power budget. powerMONITOR provides clear status information, delivers early warnings for potential problems, and assists with maintenance scheduling.

• On-air monitoring of fiber optic transmission quality • Simultaneous power measurement (+0.0/-0.1 dB measurement accuracy) of up to 4 channels • Programmable-threshold alarms - Rackmount and mobile units - Operates on rechargeable battery power or on mains power with fail-safe battery backup in case of unexpected mains power interruption • Low loss (0.5 dB maximum split loss) - Wavelength selectable: multimode 850 nm or 1300 nm, single mode 1310 nm, 1550 nm or WDM (wave division multiplexing)
