The 3K93 hybrid camera cable is a professional all-in-one composite cable engineered per SMPTE311M & SMPTE304M broadcast specifications, specially customized for HD/4K/8K studio & field broadcast cameras.
Inner Structure Design
Built-in 2-core G.657 bend-insensitive single-mode fiber for bidirectional high-speed 12G-SDI video transmission; 4-strand tinned copper power cores supply DC remote power to camera; 2-core shielded control cables deliver intercom, tally and pan-tilt control signals. Central steel strength member greatly improves tensile property against frequent pulling and bending.
Connector Compatibility
Matching full range 3K series hybrid connectors: FUW/PUW cable plug & EDW/FXW panel flange socket. All connectors adopt identical mechanical dimension as original LEMO 3K.93C series, plug-and-play replacement without modification for mainstream broadcast camera brands. Matching dust caps (BFG/BRF series with lanyard) for idle port protection are optional accessories.
Outer Jacket & Durability
Flexible high abrasion-resistant PUR/TPU outer sheath features cold-proof, oil-resistant and anti-aging performance, adapting to harsh outdoor weather and repeated winding on cable reel. Pre-assembled finished cables are factory tested before delivery, customizable in arbitrary length from 20m up to 300m.
Typical Application
Fixed studio camera wiring, sports live OB broadcast, large concert stage multi-camera layout, compatible with 1U rack patch panel for centralized room wiring management.
1. Permanent Fixed Installation for TV Station Studio & News Room
Matched with 19-inch 1U rack-mounted camera patch panel, one end connects HD broadcast camera via EDW panel receptacle & FUW male plug, the other side terminates to FXW panel socket on transfer panel, with rear pigtails centrally linked to CCU control unit.
This hybrid cable is widely used for fixed camera cabling in news studios, variety program recording rooms and broadcast live houses of national & regional TV stations.
Integrated fiber-power-control design eliminates messy separate wiring of video, power and control cables; fiber transmission avoids EMI interference from stage lighting and large LED screens, ensuring stable zero-noise 4K/12G-SDI signal. Standard finished lengths: 30m~100m for fixed indoor layout.
2. Outdoor Sports OB Van Live Broadcast (Core Application)
Perfect for on-site live production of football, basketball, track & field, golf and horse racing tournaments. The OB outside broadcast vehicle serves as central CCU control room, with cameras scattered across sports fields within 50~250m transmission distance. Pre-terminated cables are equipped on portable metal hand-wind cable reels for rapid deployment & fast rewinding after events.
Abrasion-resistant PUR/TPU jacket withstands frequent ground dragging and occasional vehicle rolling; G.657 bend-insensitive single-mode fiber guarantees loss-free long-distance HD transmission beyond the 100m limitation of traditional coaxial SDI cable. Available lengths: 50m/100m/150m/200m/250m reel cables.
3. Large-scale Live Events: Concert, Gala & Variety Show Production
Flexible cable construction resists repeated bending and coiling during frequent rigging changes; all-in-one structure simplifies on-site cabling and cuts signal interference caused by high-power audio & stage light equipment. Junction boxes are available for flexible multi-camera expansion. Applied in New Year galas, pop concerts, outdoor reality-show recording and large-scale cultural performance. Camera positions are arranged on lifting stage, auditorium and outdoor scenic spots under complicated conditions like low temperature, sudden rain and frequent scene relocation.
4. Outdoor On-location Shooting for Feature Films & Documentaries
Lightweight single composite cable greatly reduces field transportation load; bend-proof fiber core keeps stable video performance even under rugged routing conditions. Ideal for multi-camera 4K/8K shooting of commercial movies and natural documentaries at wild field, seashore, mountain and remote wilderness, where CCU equipment is installed inside temporary production vans.
5. Government Summit & International Conference Live Streaming
Commonly used for official forum, diplomatic summit and exhibition opening ceremony live broadcast, with cameras set on rostrum, audience area and backstage. Eco-friendly sheath fits enclosed indoor venues, neat cabling helps finish quick setup to guarantee glitch-free official live transmission.
6. Auxiliary Application: OB Van Internal Cabling & OEM Replacement
Short-length patch cords (3m~20m) for internal jumper wiring inside OB vans between CCU equipment and pre-installed chassis panel connectors;
Quick Selection Tips for Overseas Customers
Fixed indoor studio: 30~80m finished cable + rack patch panel
Outdoor sports & live show: 100~250m reel-mounted pre-terminated cable
Equipment room jumper: 3~20m short patch cord
