Introduction
Neutrik’s data connector range copes with the increasing
demand of digital connections in the professional audio and
entertainment industry. Digitalization in the audio business
for networking and computerized controls requires also
reliable and rugged interconnection systems. Neutrik
®
early
understood this trend and realized Pro Audio proof connector
systems based on standard digital interconnection products
like fiber optic, Ethernet, USB or Firewire. The Neutrik
®
data
connector line fulfils the stringent requirements of the Pro
Audio market and offers ruggedized and reliable optical and
RJ45 cable and chassis connectors as well as USB and Firewire
panel mount connectors.

During the past few years signal digitalization found its way
into the Pro Audio & Entertainment business, revolution-
izing equipment and applications.
Nowadays one fiber optic cable can transmit hundreds of
channels, is light and easy to pass, and avoids grounding
problems or noises.
The weak spot has been again the connector. Fragile fiber
optic network connectors like the ST, SC, LC etc. are opti-
mized for a one time permanent connection but can not
meet the rough requirements of the entertainment indus-
try. Military extended beam lens coupling connectors are
very expensive and have the disadvantage of an extensive
attenuation increase.
Neutrik
®
, as Pro Audio & Video technology leader when it
comes to connectors, kept up with the time and developed
a suitable fiber optic connection system - the Optical-
Con
®
.
The system is based on a standardized optical LC-Duplex
connection but eliminates its weakness and guarantees a
safe and rugged connection.
Because of the compatibility with conventional LC connec-
tors it offers the choice of using a cost effective LC con-
nector as a permanent connection (e.g. patch cable) or our
rugged OpticalCon
®
cable connector for mobile applica-
tions. The system enables a run of up to 4 copper wires for
power supply or any data signal, a special SMPTE-version
has been optimized for broadcast applications and offers
an additional ground-shell contact. The chassis connector
acts as “feed through” and guarantees a simple installation
by simply connecting a conventional LC-Duplex connector
(e.g. with a permanent installation cable) on the rear.
The cable connector comes pre-assembled onto a choice
of mobile field cables, currently 5 types and their varia-
tions (Multimode, Singlemode, APC) can be offered in any
length.
