Harting High Density HD Video Cabling

Sep 9, 2011

High density HD video cabling for outside-broadcast vehicles and flight-case systems

Harting has introduced a range of connectivity solutions for higher-density cabling for HD video signal-transfer applications in outside-broadcast vans and production trucks as well as modular flight-case flyaway suites and de-rig systems.

A new range of Harting compact 75 ohm coaxial contacts can be accommodated in DIN41626 compatible 4-way multi-contact inserts which then fit into the rugged IP 65 Han-Modular® series connectors. There are different coaxial contacts suitable for use with specific industry standard RG-59 and lightweight RG-179 video cables, allowing SMPTE 292M HD-SDI 1.5 GHz and up to SMPTE 424M HD 1080p/60 3.0 GHz signal transfer. Associated crimp termination tooling is available on request.

Harting ensures controlled connector mating through the use of additional alignment guide pins and bushes in the Han® B series of hoods and housings. Han Easy-Lock® spring-loaded levers allow rugged and reliable connect and disconnect operations. The Han-Modular® flexible mixed insert design concept allows integrated video, audio and data (Ethernet) signal transfer in one compact connector housing, if required. A range of cable glands is available, and threaded entry areas can accommodate standard conduit fittings to maintain IP 65 protection if separate mixed cables are used.

Key product features of the Harting range are HD-SDI and HD 1080p/60 video compliance, high packing density and improved cable management. Application benefits include fast setup and breakdown, reduced labour time and reduced costs.
