Various SMPTE311M hybrid fibre, HD camera cables with Lemo FUW/PUW SMPTE connectors for broadcast use. On metal drums or Skeleton reels.
The metal cable drums have steel drums, with steel tube frames all in a black nylon dipped finish. The winding handle is a separate unit which rotates through 180 degrees for compact storage. A chained drum-locating pin prevents drum rotation during transit. The ‘skeleton’ cable reels are constructed from heavy-duty, welded, steel tubing, on to which an overall passivated zinc plate is applied. These are of a three-flange design suitable for coiling and protecting the inner 'tail' of SMPTE 311M hybrid fibre camera cable.
Avaiable with a range of cables. Cable lengths are 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400 and 500 metres, black. Learn more
