A hybrid cable containing single-mode fibre optic and copper cores, meeting the SMPTE311M standard for HDTV camera connections. It handles video, audio and control signals plus powering between camera and base units. It is suitable for use with the special hybrid connectors produced by manufacturers such as Canare and Lemo. Available in three jacket versions. The robust but flexible polyurethane (PU) outer sheath version is suitable for OB and studio floor use, the PVC sheathed version is flexible and suitable for studio applications, and the low-smoke, halogen-free (FRNC), low fire hazard (LFH) version meets or exceeds IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2. for building installation. Low-smoke, halogen-free (FRNC), low fire hazard (LFH) versions are also comply to the CPR Euroclass requirements up to Cca.
