Fischer release optic connector for HDTV cameras

Fischer Connectors has introduced the industry’s first fibre-optic HDTV broadcast camera connector that meets the broadcast industry’s requirements for an effortless transition to fibre-based HDTV cameras.
Co-developed in an exclusive partnership with Corning, the 1053 series combines the field-tested reliability of Fischer’s established Broadcast Triax connectors with the proven technology of Corning UniCam 'No Epoxy –No Polish' fibre-optic contacts.
“This technology makes it now both practical and economical to field-assemble and field-repair HDTV camera connectors anywhere, eliminating the difficult procedure of precisely polishing fibre-optic elements as well as preparing and using special epoxies when using the new Series 1053 connector,” said Dick Bickford, National US Sales Manager. “Additionally, it provides a significantly faster and easier to terminate solution, just 15-30 minutes, or at least 50% faster than currently available products.”
The design of the UniCam contact used in the 1053 connector is based on the same contacts, which have been successfully employed in many broadcast industry venues, as well as in high quantities for years in the telecom industry.
