FISCHER CONNECTORS

Fischer Connectors has been designing, manufacturing and distributing high-performance connectors and cable assembly solutions for more than 60 years. Known for their reliability, precision and resistance to demanding and harsh environments, Fischer Connectors’ products are commonly used in fields requiring faultless quality, such as broadcast, telecommunication, medical equipment, industrial instrumentation, measuring and testing devices and military forces worldwide. Primary design and manufacturing facilities are located in Saint-Prex, Switzerland, with subsidiaries and distributors located worldwide. • Easy field cleaning. • Easy mating with its push-pull locking system. In 2013 the Fischer FiberOptic Series received a ‘Best of IBC’ award in the category production and infrastructure. It maintains stable, high-quality optical links indoors or outdoors. IP67 sealing unmated (IP68 mated) provides unmatched device protection, ensuring suitability even for harsh environments. The removable sleeve holder and push-pull locking system make them easy to connect, disconnect and disassemble for quick, efficient field cleaning. You can choose from fibre optic solutions (with two or four optical channels) and fibre optic hybrid solutions (with two fibre channels and two electrical contacts) saving space, time and money.

Coupled with their new accessories unveiled at IBC 2015, the Fischer FiberOptic Series pre-configured reels make fibre optic deployment and transmission testing in the field as easy as child’s play. They’ve been designed to simplify technical support teams’ lives by facilitating fibre optic deployment (daisy chaining) and transmission testing in the field (loopback).

High Density, Signal & Power in One Miniature Connector When it comes to miniaturising broadcasters’ equipment while guaranteeing signal quality, the Fischer MiniMax Series connectors and cable solutions come handy. Awarded ‘Best of 2015’ by TM Broadcast International magazine, the Series fulfills all of the requirements of the HDMI protocol and can be used for audio/video applications, such as HDMI-compliant source devices as display controller, a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device.

A compact, rugged power and signal solution with a high data rate, means less connector, a smaller housing and lighter equipment. • Up to 45% smaller and 75% lighter. • Greater reliability, even in harsh environments (IP68 mated and unmated). • Available in 19 and 24 contacts.

With a screened twisted pairs cable, these connectors have also been tested as belonging to Class Ea of ISO/IEC 11801, and can thus be used for applications such as 10Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire or Power over Ethernet.

Thanks to Fischer Connectors’ extensive portfolio, the company can design a unique solution for your application. For rugged applications when weight matters, for example, by packing more functionality into smaller devices,theFischerUltiMateSeriesovercomes space and weight restrictions, giving designers more flexibility. Their lightness, high density, IP68 sealing, colour coding and reliability meet the stringent requirements of varied broadcasting applications. CONTACT
