New cable system uses a single connector to simplify HD system integration.
Connecting multimedia systems through a single reliable plug-in, the AV2000 offers a practical, time and cost-efficient solution for both the installer and end-user, the company said. It combines high-definition video, audio, SDI, data and control signals through a single hybrid connector that replaces many individual connectors.
This single-connector solution, with 16-gauge contacts, simplifies set-up, eliminates mis-plugging, and increases system reliability.
At the core of the AV2000 System are 19 different contact arrangements in a single multi-contact connector assembly. Instead of a confusing array of connectors having to be plugged in to set up an integrated audio/video system, only a single connection is needed.
Components are configured to match customers’ needs and are customized with specific cable types, lengths and tail terminations. Three components-Access Points, Umbilicals, and Links-are used for integration.
Access points are typically mounted on gang, rack, or wall panels, terminated with individual cables for connection directly to system components. Access points can be easily retrofitted into existing systems. Umbilicals are flex-wrapped cable assemblies terminated on each end with a single hybrid-line-type AV2000 connector; the other end of the cable assembly is equipped with a connectorized fan out.
Links are flex-wrapped cable assembly terminated on each end with line-type hybrid connectors. Links are designed to connect between two access points, or they can be used as extensions with umbilicals for added system flexibility.
