Introduction
Neutrik’s continuously growing range of data
connectors copes with the increasing and versatile
demand of digital connections in the professional
audio, broadcast and entertainment industry.
Networking and computerized controls have to be
equipped with reliable and rugged interconnection
systems, since conventional data connectors can not
meet the demanding requirements of live / rental or
broadcast applications.
Neutrik early understood this trend and realized
a range of ruggedized connection systems based
on standard digital interconnection products like
fiber optic and network interconnections as well as
Digital Interfaces HDMI, USB, D-SUB and Firewire to
suit the high demands of professional users in the
entertainment industry.

Fiber Optic
A few years ago, fiber optic cables were used for specific
applications only. With the transition to HD-signals and the
upcoming 4K / 8K technology the need for fiber optics has
increased significantly. Today, fiber optic cables are widely-
used for various applications in the fields of professional
broadcast, pro audio and touring/rental industries.
•
Digital HD video transmissions > 15m (e.g. DVI, HDMI or
KVM projection) using fiber optic media converters
•
Increased bandwidth, especially for professional broadcast
applications
•
Efficient handling due to smaller and lighter cables
•
Minimized cabling by embedding multiple data signals in
single cables
•
Future-proof installations designed to eliminate distance
limitations, noise and EMI protection on audio or video
(LED walls) applications
With the increased use of fiber optics for pro audio
and broadcast new connections had to be developed.
Conventional data-communication connectors (ST, SC, LC,
etc.) are optimized for permanent, one-time connections and
cannot cope with the harsh and demanding environment
occurring in the entertainment business.
Neutrik solved the various problems associated with mobile
fiber optic connectivity by launching the opticalCON series
in 2005.
The simple and rugged design of opticalCON provides low
fiber maintenance, high mating cycles and easy handling.
Well known professional equipment manufacturers as well
as key users in the pro broadcast and touring industry trust
in the opticalCON system for years. It’s Neutrik´s goal to turn
opticalCON into an industry standard comparable to the
widely used etherCON series.
Design Criteria
Neutrik solved the various problems associated with mobile
fiber optic connectivity with the launch of the opticalCON
DUO fiber optic connection system in 2005.
opticalCON’s reliable and simple concept, with ruggedness
and low maintenance at its core, has gained wide acceptance
in the pro audio and broadcast industries. Well-known
professional equipment manufacturers as well as key users in
broadcast and rental/ touring trust in opticalCON for years. It
is Neutrik goal to turn opticalCON into an industry standard
comparable to the widely used etherCON series.
opticalCON DUO
is most typically used for equipment
connections, including various audio, lighting, and video
applications. Typical uses include audio and DMX networks
(ring switch), video projection based on fiber optic DVI,
HDMI, or KVM signal converters, mobile LED panels, and
various broadcast applications.
Following on the success of opticalCON DUO, the newer
opticalCON QUAD
series doubles the fiber count to four
per cable and is designed with point-to-point connections in
mind. opticalCON QUAD has been successfully deployed in
such applications as data routing for big and, especially, OB
outdoor broadcast applications.
The
opticalCON MTP
®
increases the numbers of fibers in
one connector to 12 and is the ideal solution for multi-fiber
point-to-point applications as often required for broadcast
applications.
Alternatively SPLIT cables, assembled with opticalCON DUO
or QUAD, support a connector standardization and offers
advantages with regard to field assembly and repair costs.
With the brand new
opticalCON LITE,
a cost effective
lightweight connector based on LC based ferules. Neutrik
offers a high performance fiber connection system for
permanent and temporary installations like server rooms,
patch fields and indoor cabling.
