Fiber optic and copper conductor SMPTE 311M hybrid cable for High Definition video cameras. In the hybrid 311M format, the HD video signal is transmitted over two single-mode optical fibers to ensure accurate and extended-distance data transmission. To increase the durability, a special nylon-based polymer with increased tensile strength is used for the fiber coatings, and a 16 gage steel strength member is cabled at the center of the cable core. All copper elements now feature heat-resistant PE insulation and are shielded by a dense 95% copper braid. The HDC160 features a doublejacket construction for extra durability and increased diameter.
