Neutrik’s data connector range copes with the increas-
ing demand of digital connections in the profes-
sional audio, broadcast and entertainment industry.
Networking and computerized controls have to be
equipped with reliable and rugged interconnection
systems, since conventional data connectors can not
meet the demanding requirements of live / rental or
broadcast applications. Neutrik early understood this
trend and realized a range of ruggedized connection
systems based on standard digital interconnection
products like fiber optic and network interconnections
as well as Digital Interfaces like USB, Firewire and now
as well HDMI.

Fiber Optic
Some years ago fiber optic has been used for speciality cabling like HD broadcast
cameras only. Meanwhile digital signal and network applications in Pro Audio,
Broadcast and Touring / Rental spring up like mushrooms which opens a wide range
of fiber optic use. The application depth is multiple, some examples are:
Network (Audio, Data or DMX) transmissions with >70 m (mobile) or >100 m
(installation) length, based on Pro Equipment (e.g. Mixers) offering fiber optic
connections or using a fiber optic switch
Digital HD video transmissions > 15 m (e.g. DVI, HDMI or KVM projection) using
fiber optic media converters
Future prove installations eliminating bandwidth limitations
Noise and EMI protection on Audio or Video (LED walls) applications
Increased bandwidth especially on broadcast applications
Signal embedding to minimize cabling efforts especially on broadcast applications
with help of Pro Equipment or media converters
The trend to use connectors out of the Datacom / Computer industry for Pro Audio
and Broadcast applications (RJ45 connectors) did also not stop short of fiber optic
connectivity. Conventional Datacom fiber optic connectors like ST, SC or LCs
are optimized for one time permanent connection but can not meet the rough
requirements of mobile applications and high mating cycles as required for the
entertainment industry. By necessity used military connectors have been expensive
and showed either high attenuation and return loss or no dust protection.
Design Criteria
Neutrik as connectivity specialist for rough entertainment applications solved
these problems when launching the opticalCON DUO fiber optic connection system
in 2005. The reliable and simple concept has proven its ruggedness and low
maintenance which led to a wide acceptance in the pro audio and broadcast industry.
The opticalCON system is based on LC connectors but eliminates its weakness and
guarantees a safe, dust protected and rugged connection. Being compatible to
conventional LC connectors the opticalCON DUO offers the choice of using
cost effective LC cables or the rugged opticalCON mobile cable assembly. This
final user flexibility choosing a cost effective LC for system integration or a rugged
cable for mobile applications is appreciated by OEMs.
opticalCON QUAD and opticalCON MTP® are based on the proven opticalCON DUO
conzept but are, with 4 or respectively 12 fiber channels, focused to POINT-
TO-POINT interconnections. These systems copes with the increasing need for fiber
optic channels. opticalCON is more than a connector, the optimized connection
system includes a variety of customized rugged cables, drums, breakout and pulling
solutions. Well-known equipment manufacturers of pro equipment as well as key
users in broadcast and rental / touring trust in the opticalCON. It is our goal to turn
it to an industry standard comparable to the widely used etherCON series.

The opticalCON powerMONITOR is a cost-saving, purpose-
built measurement (monitoring) device for professional fiber
optic broadcast, audio and video applications.
With simultaneous monitoring of attenuation for up to 4
transmission channels, powerMONITOR provides an immediate,
"on air" view into fiber optic signal strength. Visual and
audible alarms can be set individually for each fiber channel,
based on each channel's power budget. powerMONITOR
provides clear status information, delivers early warnings for
potential problems, and assists with maintenance scheduling.

The opticamSWITCH is the ultimate solution for fiber optic
camera routing within broadcast studios. The device allows
switching of unlimited camera positions between several stu-
dios and control rooms, eliminating the need for high-main-
tenance, risky matrix patch fields using SMPTE patch cables.
The device works on trendsetting, silica-based PLC (planar
lightwave circuits) equipped with TO (thermo optic) switches.
The innovative design guarantees rugged and safe non-blo-
cking fiber plus camera power switching without any moving
parts. The LAN-based remote control software simplifies work,
shows switching and camera status, and enables broadcast
production automation.

Ruggedized RJ45 Data
Connector
etherCON provides solutions for data transfer in harsh and
demanding applications. These connectors are especially appli-
cable for Ethernet networking in audio, commercial, enter-
tainment, live stage production, DMX lighting, industrial and
outdoor internet access environments.
The etherCON series offers male cable carriers, assembled
female receptacles, feedthrough jacks, cable coupler and
shielded versions with or without illumination possibilities
by LEDs. The male cable end offers a rugged diecast metal
shell as a carrier for pre-assembled RJ45 plugs, which does not
require the re-termination of the cable assembly. Female chas-
sis receptacles are based on the current Neutrik “A & B” series
as well the “D” series of XLR receptacles with secure latching
system – a feature not found on other RJ45 receptacles. Ter-
minations include horizontal and vertical PCB mount or IDC.
Colour coding is available for both the cable carriers and the
receptacles for ease of identification.
Ingress protection of IP 54 is achived on the CAT 5 version by
assembling the waterproof kit SE8FD while CAT 6 versions are
IP 65 rated as standard.
Neutrik etherCON receptacles comply with CAT 6, CAT 5e
(IDC versions) or Class D (PCB versions), shielded or unshielded
according to TIA / EIA 568B and ISO / EC 11801 standard.
