SMPTE COMPATIBLE
HDTV CONNECTION SYSTEM
3K.93C SERIES
LEMO pioneered and set
the standard for HDTV
The global standard
for HDTV fibre
connector
LEMO developed the 3K.93C
Series connectors in
the early stages of
the introduction of
HDTV, becoming
the standard for
high-definition TV.
It is one of the only
connectors being
used worldwide that
complies fully with
SMPTE, ARIB and EBU
standards for both signal
and cable.
LEMO’s 3K.93C
connectors are the
standard in national and
international broadcast
companies.
Fast transition
to HDTV
Transition to HDTV is easier than
ever with LEMO. The wide range
of shell styles and termination
procedures, for even non-fibre
experts, makes it possible
for everyone to be
successful in HDTV.
The LEMO 3K.93C
connector uses two
single-mode fibre
contacts, two high
voltage contacts, and
two signal contacts.
Cable drums and
cable assemblies with
standard lengths are
available off the shelf.
Over 20’000 stainless
steel shells mating
cycles offered
The rugged stainless steel outer
shell of the LEMO 3K.93C
connectors ensures a very
long product life, when properly
cleaned. The fibre optic contact
can will last many years.
Simple maintenance
The optical contacts are
accessible for fast cleaning;
an optional simple, lightweight and
portable fibre inspection unit helps
the user view the condition of the
fibre optic contact to ensure
reliable operation.

Highest performance
with LEMO standard
F2 fibre contact
The advantage of using epoxy
and polish contacts is the
reliability of the termination and
longevity of the connector to
assure a quality signal
transmission. These contacts
are very robust and can
withstand wide outdoor
temperature variations.
NEW F2 fibre optic
contacts in various
dimensions
LEMO now offers 3 choices
of F2 ferrule size to fit your fibre
dimensions.
Fibres are manufactured to
about 125 microns, but in some
occasion the fibres might be
larger. LEMO's choice of inner
ferrule diameter are fit for 125 μm,
125.5 μm and 126 μm fibres.
Designed for use with
the LEMO 3K.93C,
these contacts can
NEW
be used directly into
any LEMO connector
where the F2 contact
is used.
Extend the quality
of your connection
LEMO offers quality assembly
service for HDTV connection
systems. The connector assembly
is done in-house by qualified
personnel.

The «Variant» position in the reference is
used
to indicate the presence of
a
collet nut for fitting the
bend
relief. For models with the «T» type of cable
adapter
the
«Z»
should always be
indicated
and a bend
relief can
be
ordered
separately as
indicated in the «Accessories»
section.
An order for
a
connector with
bend
relief
should
thus include two part numbers.
