Seamless Integration Between Balanced Audio and Video Coax Systems

The Canare 110-Ohm to 75-Ohm Impedance Transformer Series offers an elegant, passive solution for bridging the gap between professional balanced digital audio gear and unbalanced coaxial routing equipment. Standard AES/EBU digital audio streams typically rely on 110-ohm shielded twisted-pair cabling terminated with XLR connectors. However, modern broadcast facilities, OB vans, and central control rooms are fundamentally optimized around 75-ohm BNC coaxial pipelines. These transformers allow engineers to convert signal impedance natively without active power supplies, making them highly reliable assets for professional signal distribution.

Overcome Distance Limitations via Coaxial Distribution

While traditional 110-ohm twisted-pair lines are highly efficient over short studio spans, they suffer from high-frequency signal attenuation and noise susceptibility over long-distance cable runs. By passively transitioning the signal down to a Canare 75-ohm coaxial cable via a high-performance internal transformer, you can run digital audio across massive cable installations. This method also lets you leverage your existing 75-ohm video patchbays, routers, and structural coaxial lines to route two-channel digital audio alongside HD-SDI video streams.

Versatile Inline and Panel-Mount Deployment Layouts

This transformer line is built in two separate mechanical styles to support flexible engineering layouts. The Adapter Type versions (like the BCJ-XJ-TRC) provide rugged, inline housings that plug directly into existing device terminals—perfect for quick field modifications or mobile flypacks. For permanent master facilities, the Panel Mount Type configurations (like the XJ3F-TRC-BCJ) utilize a standard ITT XLR-F77 square flange footprint. This allows them to mount directly into universal rack panels, central terminal boxes, or custom wall plates for a clean, professional finish.
