Standard and Double-Jacketed Studio Engineering

The Canare FCC-N and FCC-WJ hybrid fiber-optic (HFO) broadcast assemblies serve as the primary umbilical link between high-definition/4K camera systems and their respective Camera Control Units (CCUs). This product lineup splits into two distinct structural form factors designed to solve specific operational challenges on set. The classic 9.2mm standard profile (FCC-N) delivers the ultimate balance of flexible deployment for general routing, while the heavy-duty 16mm double-jacketed configuration (FCC-WJ) provides robust structural fortification optimized for flat studio floors.

Pedestal Protection Against Heavy Studio Dollies

In active broadcast studios, a common and costly cause of fiber failure occurs when heavy camera pedestals or crane dollies roll over floor lines, pinching or snapping the fragile optical glass inside. The thick 16mm outer diameter of the double-jacketed model (FCC-WJ) solves this issue by creating a physical barrier that prevents the cable from getting trapped or crushed under a rolling dolly wheel. This specialized design keeps your uncompressed live video feeds, multi-channel studio intercom lines, and vital telemetry data safe from unexpected floor hazards.

Comprehensive On-Set Organization

Managing dense multi-camera environments requires fast and highly accurate line identification. Both the standard and double-jacketed models arrive equipped with a 7-color connector ring kit, enabling engineering crews to color-code each camera line right at the connection point. Combined with integrated clear heat-shrink tubing for secure channel labeling, these factory-assembled cables help maintain an organized framework inside control rooms, production trucks, and patch networks.
