Fibre-optic connector allows easy assembly for broadcast industry

The 1053 series combines the field-tested reliability of Fischer's established Broadcast Triax connectors with the Corning's 'No Epoxy-No Polish' UniCam fibre-optic contacts.

According to Fischer, these connectors meet the broadcast industry's requirements for an effortless transition to fibre-based HDTV cameras: they make it both practical and economical to field-assemble and field-repair HDTV camera connectors anywhere, without the need to precisely polish fibre-optic elements or to use special epoxies.

The design of the UniCam contact used in the 1053 connector is based on the same contacts, which have been successfully employed in many broadcast industry venues, as well as in the telecom industry. To ensure compatibility with all HDTV broadcast camera manufacturers, the 1053 connector is SMPTE signal-compliant, employing two single-mode fibre contacts, two high-voltage contacts, and two low-voltage signal contacts.
