CAMERA CONNECTOR SYSTEM

3CAMERACONNECTORDRAGONFLY is more robust, reliable and easier
to maintain than common hybrid camera signaltransmission systems. With technology basedon fiber lenses and fusion splicing, Neutrik’s
DRAGONFLY achieves an extremely robust signal with minimal loss. opticalCON DRAGONFLY
combines all the advantages of lens technology
and makes it competitive with physical contact
connectivity.
The DRAGONFLY connector offers long life withvery low maintenance. It can also withstand harshand demanding environments and is dust andmoisture insensitive. Additionally, DRAGONFLY
is robust against vibration and therefore has low
potential for damage. And if there ever is a problem, DRAGONFLY is field repairable. With this newtechnology, DRAGONFLY provides a complete
solution for the Broadcast and AV Market.

Neutrik’s new fiber optic connector
series offers advanced lens technology
for Broadcast and AV Market.

DRAGONFLY is based on the patented XB2Technology. Its innovative fusion splice highperformance lens transmits UHD 4K and 8K signals with very low loss as the signal surface of theXB2 lens is 322 times bigger than physical contactsurfaces. This further results in low insensitivity
against dust and dirt.

6TRUE OUTDOORPROTECTIONUVIP68The highly innovative entertainment industry ispermanently evolving accompanied by increasing
demands on interconnection systems. Particularly
environmentally sealed connectors are highly
requested for heavy-duty and harsh environment
applications of entertainment equipment likeBroadcast, PA systems, signs and LED screens orlightings.

CORROSION

Neutrik took up the challenge and developed anew line of TRUE OUTDOOR PROTECTION (TOP)products for demanding outdoor applications.
This new range includes the popular powerCON
TRUE1, etherCON, XLR series and opticalCON
DRAGONFLY and ensure highest reliability andvery long lifetime in the outdoor applications.
opticalCON DRAGONFLY was developed andtested in accordance to UL50E and IEC60529.
UL50E and IEC60529 are the most commonand globally recognized for outdoor applications. The performed tests confirmed opticalCON
DRAGONFLY’s very high resistance against waterand dust ingress, ultraviolet light and corrosion.
