Ruggedized Coaxial Engineering for Demanding Mobile Production

The Canare Mobile Coaxial Cable series provides a robust, field-ready signal solution for remote broadcasting, operating as a specialized high-flexibility 75-ohm video deployment line designed to connect OB vans, field cameras, mobile video switchers, flypack production rigs, and remote monitors. In live sports, ENG (Electronic News Gathering), and festival setups, standard rigid solid-core coaxial cables will quickly kink, develop internal stress fractures, and suffer structural damage from foot traffic. Canare’s mobile series solves this by combining high-grade broadcast specs with a flexible, tour-ready design.

Double-Braid Shielding Matrix for Electronic Noise Defense

To protect sensitive digital video streams from interference when draped over power distribution blocks, heavy-duty generator lines, and wireless audio setups, these mobile cables feature a dual-layered, high-density braided shielding system. By overlaying two distinct layers of tinned copper mesh (averaging 92% to 95% coverage per layer), Canare blocks both low-frequency magnetic hum and high-frequency RF interference. This heavy-duty shielding system maintains a clean ground path even after thousands of roll-outs and load-outs.

Crucial Installation Note: Because of the soft, extra-flexible jacket and the specialized multi-strand/double-braid design of these mobile cables, standard rotary blade cable strippers (such as the Canare TS100 series) cannot be used. Stripping must be done using precise manual hand tools to avoid damaging the inner shielding mesh.

Specialized Form Factors Tailored for Field Production Tiers

This mobile cable series is split into three distinct internal architectures to match different field routing requirements and data formats:

• L-CUHWS Elite 12G UHD Series (L-3.3CUHWS / L-5.5CUHWS): Specifically designed to carry uncompressed 12G-SDI 4K broadcast signals. It balances low high-frequency attenuation ($17.0\text{ dB/100m}$ at 750MHz for L-5.5CUHWS) with an ultra-flexible core, making it the top choice for next-generation UHD OB vans.
• L-CHWS Standard Stranded Series (L-2.5CHWS / L-4.5CHWS): The workhorse line for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI field deployments. Built around a 7-strand core, this line provides smooth handling and long-term durability for daily field reporting and stage loops.
• L-CFW Solid-Core High-Flex Hybrid Series (L-3CFW / L-5CFW): Features a solid annealed copper center conductor combined with a specialized, extra-supple outer jacket blend. This hybrid design delivers the low-loss performance of a solid-core cable while remaining flexible enough for quick mobile setups.
