Product Overview +
Studio Wall-Panel to Enclosure Patching
The Canare FCS015A series hybrid fiber-optic (HFO) receptacle cable assemblies provide the vital internal link within high-end broadcast infrastructure. Specifically configured as a 1.5-meter pigtail kit, these assemblies streamline the connection between outer studio wall terminal panels and internal rack-mounted optical splice enclosures. By deploying these precision pigtails, engineering teams can build seamless, clean, and easily serviceable cable pathways behind control room panels and inside mobile production units.
Uncompromising Signal Integrity
Broadcast camera feeds demand ultra-low loss and total resistance to interference over extended distances. This assembly utilizes standard SMPTE 304/311 interfaces alongside precision FC terminations to deliver an insertion loss under 0.5dB and a return loss greater than 45dB. This ensures that uncompressed high-bitrate video, camera control unit (CCU) telemetry, and studio tally signals remain completely clean and error-free, preventing any on-air digital artifacting or dropped feeds.
Heavy-Duty Broadcast Resilience
Built to survive the taxing physical environments of live trucks and broadcast studios, the connector bodies are constructed entirely from premium-grade stainless steel. Each kit includes specialized insulation plates designed to isolate the connector from the metal panel housing, providing complete electrical insulation. This careful design stops systemic ground loops and stray electrical interference from compromising your video lines, ensuring clean, continuous camera operations.
