Elite 12G-SDI Performance for 4K/8K Workflows

The Canare KC Series represents the next generation of micro-miniature coaxial connectors, engineered explicitly for the rigorous demands of modern 4K/8K UHD broadcasting and professional AV equipment. Operating flawlessly from DC up to 12 GHz, these 75-ohm connectors deliver the high-frequency stability required for uncompressed video transport. By meeting the stringent return loss requirements of SMPTE ST2082-1 (including 15 dB @ 6 GHz and 10 dB @ 12 GHz), the KC Series eliminates signal degradation and ensures pristine data transmission on critical 12G-SDI signal paths.

Engineered for Intelligent PCB Layouts

Optimizing high-density printed circuit boards is simplified with Canare’s versatile mounting configurations. Equipment manufacturers can select between the straight (KCM-PC) and right-angle (KCM-LR) PCB mount receptacles to maximize space and streamline interior chassis routing. This design flexibility allows engineers to minimize trace lengths and maintain impeccable impedance matching across the entire board layout, accelerating product development for high-performance video switchers, routers, and cameras.

Seamless Integration and Rugged Durability

Designed with long-term maintenance and structural integrity in mind, the KC Series features a robust snap-on mating interface that ensures a secure lock while easing the assembly process. Beyond board-level components, the series includes premium FEP-jacketed cable assemblies (KC1.2R Series) in multiple lengths and conversion adapters (BCJ-KCMR / BCJ-FKCM) for a clean transition to standard bulkheads. This comprehensive ecosystem provides broadcast engineering teams in fast-growing professional AV sectors with a complete, durable solution for high-frequency internal and external routing.
