In order for large sporting events, open-air concerts and reporting of current events to land on your screen in first-class picture quality, technically advanced broadcast cable is required. They must be resistant to bending, robust and durable – just like Draka SMPTE 311M camera cables. “Designed for professional studio and live productions, Draka Hybrid HD … Read more
Cables are exposed to very high tensile forces during installation and often also during operation. If the tensile strength is just sufficient for the installation, the forces acting on the cable can increase the fiber elongation. This means a higher load and thus a shortened fiber lifetime. To counteract this, the BU Multimedia Solutions (MMS) … Read more
When installing fiber optic cables, companies often have to make compromises between security, quality, cost and application practices. For example, some cables with a high number of fibers do not meet the required CPR classes – and vice versa. Draka CPR Cca and B2ca loose tube cables with up to 288 fibers give users all … Read more
