Seamless Integration for Mixed Audio and Video Infrastructures

The Canare SMPTE Conversion Cable series serves as a critical infrastructure bridge, functioning perfectly as a premium audio cable and video cable combined into one patch link. In high-end television production, facilities often find themselves mixing hardware from different manufacturing lineages. This 2-meter specialized adapter gives engineers the exact tool needed to patch standard global FC SMPTE-type infrastructure directly into Japanese style OC-type inputs and outputs without swapping out expensive bulk runs or patch bays.

Uncompromised Multi-Signal Performance Convergence

Despite acting as a conversion patch, this hybrid assembly treats your entire production pipeline with absolute fidelity. The internal single-mode optical lines effortlessly handle high-bandwidth, uncompressed HD, 4K, and 8K camera video trunk lines alongside zero-latency return viewfinder feeds. At the same time, the copper multi-core interior handles crisp production intercom talkback loops, talent microphone lines, remote camera shading metadata, and high-voltage auxiliary power sent directly from the CCU to run the camera head without local batteries.

Premium Structural Foundation

Built upon Canare’s industry-standard LF-2SM9N hybrid bulk cable, these adapter assemblies match the exact attenuation and shielding metrics of your main infrastructure lines. This design avoids structural weak spots or mismatched impedances that could drop signals. Available in two distinct configurations—FC Male to OC Female (FCM02N-OCF) or FC Female to OC Male (FCF02N-OCM)—this series allows technical teams to cleanly integrate outside broadcast (OB) vans, rental packages, and mixed-manufacturer studios quickly and cleanly.
