The Argosy HYPERflex SMPTE Camera Cable is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional broadcasting and video production environments. Its proprietary rubberised Polyurethane outer jacket provides unmatched flexibility, allowing for effortless handling and manoeuvrability, even in the most confined spaces. Despite its exceptional flexibility, the cable maintains robust durability, ensuring it can withstand the challenges of frequent use.

Central to the HYPERflex SMPTE Cable’s performance is the inclusion of Draka BBXS G657 bend-insensitive fibres. These advanced fibres are engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality signal transmission, even under conditions that typically cause significant bending or pulling. This ensures that your video and data remain clear and uninterrupted.

The cable’s unique patch cord construction is designed to mitigate increased attenuation, a common issue associated with repeated pulling and bending. By providing additional protection, this construction helps maintain signal integrity over time, reducing the risk of signal loss or degradation.

Whether you’re on a live broadcast, a film set, or in a studio, the Argosy HYPERflex SMPTE Camera Cable delivers the flexibility, durability, and reliable performance you need for flawless operations.

Key Benefits:

  • Super Flexible Design: The proprietary rubberised outer jacket ensures the cable is extremely flexible, making it easy to handle and position in any environment.
  • Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use, ensuring longevity and reliability. 
  • Bend-Insensitive Fibre: Incorporates Draka BBXS G657 fibres that resist high attenuation and signal degradation even under tight bending conditions.
  • BendBrightXS: Fully meets or exceeds ITU-T recommendations G.657.A1, G.657.A2, G.657.B2 (2009) and G.652.D (2009), as well as IEC International Standards 60793-2-50 Type B.1.3 and B.6.A&B Optical Fibre Specification.  
  • Patch Cord Construction: Specifically designed to protect against increased attenuation, maintaining optimal signal quality despite repeated pulling and bending.
  • Enhanced Signal Integrity: Ensures consistent, high-quality signal transmission, reducing the risk of signal loss in critical applications.
