Gepco (Booth C3419), an industry leader
in the manufacturing of professional audio and video cables,
is expanding its fiber cable assembly offerings to include
Neutrik® OpticalCon® and Amphenol TAC-4 and TAC-12
cable assemblies. Gepco's complete line of fiber cable assemblies
will be on display at InfoComm 2008, June 18-20.
As an authorized manufacturer of OpticalCon cable assemblies,
Gepco is now terminating custom lengths of tactical fiber
cables with Neutrik's OpticalCon connectors. Based on a standard
optical LC-Duplex connection, Neutrik's OpticalCon increases
the reliability and maximizes the uptime for fiber optic connection
systems. With the company's introduction of the new IP65 rated
model at InfoComm, the fiber optic connector system has been
upgraded for dust-tight and water jet protection making it
ideal for corporate, staging, remote and touring applications.
In addition to the new Neutrik OpticalCon cable assemblies,
Gepco has added Amphenol TAC-4 four-channel and TAC-12 twelve-channel
hermaphroditic connectors. The TAC-4 and TAC-12 hermaphroditic
connectors are industry standard, multi-channel formats designed
to withstand use and abuse in harsh environments.
As with all of the company's fiber assemblies both the Neutrik
and Amphenol assemblies are factory terminated by Gepco and
feature precision machine-polished contacts which offer UPC
quality to achieve –55dB return loss specifications.
This process helps to attain excellent optical clarity and
alignment, reducing back reflection and minimizing insertion
loss. For further transmission assurance, all assemblies are
100% tested and verified for consistent performance and feature
premium quality connectors and components.
"To meet the demands of the increasing amount of fiber
optic applications in the broadcast and professional AV markets,
we have expanded our fiber options to provide a wider variety
of fiber interconnect solutions," says Scott Fehl, Gepco's
Product Development and Marketing Manager. "Neutrik has
a reputation for high-quality connector products and we are
looking forward to being a part of that. The combination of
Neutrik's OpticalCon and Gepco's assembly capabilities will
further provide our users with a reliable fiber optic interconnect
solution, that can be manufactured and delivered quickly and
on-time."
"Gepco has been a Neutrik dealer for years – it
is great to take this business relationship to the next level,"
says Jim Cowan, president of Neutrik USA. "Gepco is known
for the quality products it produces. We are happy to invite
the company to be a part of Neutrik's manufacturing team."
The assemblies are joining the variety of fiber solutions
that Gepco currently offers which include; SMTPE 304M hybrid
fiber camera cables (using Lemo or Canare brand connectors),
ST/SC/LC multi-mode or single-mode snakes, indoor permanent
installation cables, as well as tactical and portable-use
cables.
