Product Details

Radically different from typical industry products, but with the same performance characteristics of traditional SMPTE 311 cables, the new Gepco® Brand HDC720HD 7.2 mm hybrid fiber cable solves the most common durability issues associated with SMPTE camera cables in a design that is 31% smaller and 40% lighter. The revolutionary construction of the HDC720HD starts with replacing the typical heavy steel strength member with a Kevlar® version that has the same pull strength of steel, but is lighter and more flexible. Unlike steel, the Kevlar strength member expands and contracts at the same rate as the glass members during temperature extremes. Using Kevlar in place of steel also means the cable has virtually no memory, making the cable easier to pay off, lay flat and wind back up on the drum. For further durability, the HDC720HD utilizes bend-insensitive fiber elements with very low attenuation and a bend radius of 0.2 mm—versus 2.0 mm for traditional single-mode fiber—in a breakout style with additional Kevlar® protection around the individual fibers. The typical outer braid is replaced with two 18 AWG drain wires that allow the cable to be more flexible, lighter and smaller in diameter. The master jacket is a rugged polyurethane with a glossy finish that reduces the pickup of dirt and debris.
