How resilient are cables for frequent set-up and dismantling?

For high stress and movement at events, there are robust designs such as steel-armoured fibre-optic patch cables, mobile cables and steel-armoured HDMI AOC cables. Overmoulding protects connectors, ferrite cores and Y-splitters – especially during fast set-up and dismantling under time pressure. Mating cycle and torsion tests are part of our mechanical testing.

What tests are there for cold and fire behaviour?

Our 12G-SDI video cables are suitable for cable drums and cold-flexible down to −30 °C; ageing and climate cycling tests serve long-term validation. Fire behaviour testing includes UL- and IEC-compliant flame tests and CPR fire classification tests for legal requirements. For networks, there are halogen-free cable drums with Cat.6A keystone modules; special tests are tailored individually to your requirements.

For networks, there are halogen-free cable drums with Cat.6A keystone modules; special tests are tailored individually to your requirements.
What reach can video connections achieve at large events?: Steel-armoured HDMI AOC cables transmit up to 100 metres – for long reach at larger events. The aim: interference-free signal transmission and high operational reliability for your events. We match the length to your set-up, as an assembled connection cable, also in custom lengths, or as a customer-specific cable set.
