LEMO
Black is the new red
By Ian McMurray
ALL TRIAX cables for broadcast use are coloured red, notes exhibitor LEMO Connectors —but the company has recently launched a new HD triax cable coloured black, a direct response to feedback from the market. The 75Ω cable has been
specially manufactured to LEMO’s specifications to match the transmission properties of its range of precision triax connectors for HD applications. LEMO says that it is competitively priced against other HD triax cable, and is ideal for both indoor and outside broadcast use, giving HD transmission distances up to 30% greater than standard triax cable. Key features of the cable include a silver coated pure solid copper central conductor for high conductivity and a black PUR outer jacket for excellent resistance to handling. 11.E40
