The Backbone of Studio Integration
The Canare LF-2SM9N and LF-2SM16 raw hybrid bulk cables are the global technical standard for engineering integrated audio and video cable systems inside professional broadcast installations. This bulk cabling serves as the fundamental layer used to run permanent infrastructure inside studio conduits, construct custom patch bays, or build mobile field reels. By utilizing the SMPTE ST 311 standard framework, it replaces a complex web of individual multi-cores with a single, highly organized cable run capable of managing your entire studio-to-camera connection link.
Unified Audio, Ultra-HD Video, and Power Convergence
This hybrid network cabling merges distinct signal types into a single high-durability cross-section. The single-mode glass fiber strands utilize low-water-peak optical elements optimized for flawless transmission of uncompressed 4K, 8K, and high-frame-rate HD video channels. Concurrently, the internal copper blocks handle high-fidelity intercom networks, program microphones, remote shading/tally telemetry, and direct high-voltage CCU lines capable of powering heavy studio camera chains completely without local batteries.
Tailored Construction Profiles for Studio Floors or Conduits
Every workspace environment presents its own mechanical infrastructure challenges. The standard 9.2mm profile (LF-2SM9N) provides excellent flexibility and slick movement for running clean pathways through electrical conduits and narrow facility cable trays. For exposed live production floors, the heavy-duty 16mm double PVC version (LF-2SM16) is specifically thick-set to stop rolling studio pedestal dollies from jamming or crushing the fragile optical cores inside, protecting your production from costly signal drops.
