The Precision Solution for Tight Rack Spaces

The Datavideo CB-15U is a specialized problem-solver for broadcast engineers and mobile production specialists. In the compact world of 19-inch racks and portable field recorders, space is at a premium. A standard straight FireWire cable can often protrude too far, making it impossible to close a rack door or leading to bent pins over time. The CB-15U’s "Right-Angle Up" orientation directs the cable vertically, relieving mechanical stress on the port and providing a much cleaner, more professional installation.

Engineered for Legacy Excellence

While modern systems have transitioned to USB and SDI, many high-reliability Datavideo recorders and legacy digital video (DV) setups still rely on the rock-solid IEEE 1394a FireWire protocol. The CB-15U is the perfect maintenance or replacement part for these systems. Its 20cm length is specifically chosen to bridge the short gap between a camera or switcher and a rack-mounted recorder, ensuring your signal path is as direct and noise-free as possible.

Reliability in the Field

Field production demands gear that can handle the "daily grind." The CB-15U is constructed with robust materials and reinforced strain relief, ensuring that your data connection remains secure even during the vibrations of a moving OB van or the frantic pace of a live news event. It is a "set-and-forget" accessory that brings order and longevity to your professional video equipment.
