Hybrid Infrastructure for Specialized Production Environments

The Canare A2C3 and A2C3-SS RS422 Cable series serves as a critical infrastructure solution, functioning as a high-performance audio cable and video cable combined remote control line. In modern television control rooms, outside broadcast (OB) vans, and live production sets, automated systems require reliable data links to interface between hardware peripherals. This hybrid cable bundles high-speed digital pathways and power-capable control lines into a single run, making it an excellent choice for short-haul interconnection between master controllers, editing desks, and robotic camera configurations.

Synchronized Data, Intercom, and Telemetry Pipelines

This multi-core hybrid layout handles diverse signals across your production workspace. The two dedicated digital lines feature a precise 110-ohm characteristic impedance, making them perfect for routing serial machine control telemetry (RS-422/RS-232), remote PTZ joystick shading commands, and high-rate digital audio or intercom data loops. Concurrently, the three separate 24 AWG control lines provide stable connections for auxiliary tally lights, basic power triggers, or general-purpose input/output (GPIO) switcher signals.

Targeted Shielding Layouts for Studio Security

To provide absolute signal stability and prevent transmission errors across short facility distances, this collection is split into two specialized performance profiles:

• A2C3 Short-Haul System Class: Features a compact 6.5mm profile optimized for short equipment rack jumpers and clean desktop console installations. It uses individual 90% spiral shields on each digital pair to prevent data lines from interfering with nearby analog video runs.
• A2C3-SS Overall Shielded Class: Designed for higher-noise environments like busy server rooms or overhead cable trays. This model places an extra 91% coverage tinned copper spiral shield around the entire master core matrix, blocking external electromagnetic interference (EMI) from disrupting your data streams.
