Universal Camera Broadcast Series


Transmission grade universal camera cable


This cable has been specifically designed for the interconnection of professional cameras to video tape recorders (VTRs) and camera control units (CCUs). The high tolerances applied to all the individual components allow long cable runs to be used with confidence - 200 metre assemblies have been thoroughly tested successfully. All video cores are high precision, and the overall diameter has been specifically sized to the industry standard HRS JRC 26 pole connector. In addition the polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket coupled with the overall tinned copper braid provides the mechanical strength required for use in outside broadcast applications.

Materials
There are 5 completely different elements that make up this cable type - 75 and 50 Ohm coaxials, balanced audio pairs, 0.6mm DC power conductors and 0.12mm data tracers. The copper used for all is as per other Van Damme cable types – Ultra pure oxygen free – and the insulation materials chosen for each element are the most appropriate to the high specification and performance required. Please see the technical specification for the insulation material used for each element. Further descriptions of the insulation properties can be found in other sections of the Van Damme cable listing.

The required number of individual elements listed above are cabled together with natural textile fillers to increase the overall strength of the cable. A special anti-static separator tape is then applied and a >85% optical coverage braid of tinned copper is added. The extruded jacket is polyurethane (PUR) chosen for it’s outstanding toughness and abrasion resistance.

Applications
• All professional video camera to VTR or CCU cable runs
• PUR jacket for demanding outside broadcast applications
• Long cable runs can be used with confidence – up to 200 metres
