Ideal for portable deployments for truck and camera connections when facing weight and space constrictions, the Camplex HF-FUWPUW-7 Mini SMPTE cable assemblies with Gepco cable and Lemo FUW-PUW connectors are smaller and lighter than traditional steel strength member cables. The steel is replaced by a Kevlar strength member that has the same pull strength of steel, but is lighter and more flexible which means they lay flat and are easier to deploy and reel back on the drum. Kevlar expands and contracts at the same rate as the glass members during temperature extremes, keeping the elements in the cable aligned reducing migration. The power conductors consist of two 16 AWG conductors so you can still achieve the same distance a regular SMPTE 311 cable performs to. The Gepco cable also features bend insensitive fiber to reduce optical loss when bending and handling making them ideal for use behind racks and in trucks where space is extremely limited. The master jacket of the cable is heat resistant polyurethane, which is tougher than PVC for rugged outdoor use. Lightweight, flexible, and rugged Camplex Mini SMPTE 311 camera cable features 16 AWG robust power conductors for high performance in portable applications.

• Extremely durable and lightweight
• Glossy cable finish reduces pickup of dirt and debris
• Highly flexible with bend-insensitive optical fibers
• Kevlar strength member with same pull strength as steel
• Large gauge copper conductors for camera power
• Heat-resistant, heavy duty polyurethane jacket
• Low insertion and return loss

Q: 2. Needing to connect to existing Telex intercom system. Can I connect this directly to a Telex PS15 by building my own DB25 cable or do I need an interface (Telex DSI-2008) to make them work together?

A: The connections to the Fiber Converter require a 4 wire interface. You would need a 2 wire to 4 wire interface. Then build a custom cable with DB-25 for our end and whatever the 4 wire interface needs.

You will need an ATEM switcher to pass the talkback channels through. Newer ATEM switchers have talkback built in, so you only need the Talkback 4K if you're using an older model. Consult your manual to see if your ATEM model has talkback built in.
