Precision modular connectors to suit your application
Since its creation in Switzerland in 1946 the LEMO Group has been recognized as a global leader of circular Push-Pullconnectors and connector solutions. Today LEMO and its affiliated companies, REDEL and COELVER, are active in morethan 80 countries with the help of over 40 subsidiaries and distributors.

Over 75000 connectors
The modular design of the LEMO range provides over 75000 connectors from miniature ø 3 mm to ø 50 mm, capable ofhandling cable diameters up to 30 mm and for up to 114 contacts. This vast portfolio enables you to select the ideal connector
configuration to suit almost any specific requirement in most markets, including medical devices, test and measurement
instruments, machinery, audio video broadcast, telecommunications and military.

LEMO’s Push-Pull Self-Latching Connection System
This self-latching system is renowned worldwide for its easy and quick mating and unmating features. It provides absolute
security against vibration, shock or pull on the cable, and facilitates operation in a very limited space.

The LEMO self-latching system allows the connector
to be mated by simply pushing the plug axially into
the socket.

Once firmly latched, connection cannot be broken bypulling on the cable or any other component part otherthan the outer release sleeve.

When required, the connector is disengaged by asingle axial pull on the outer release sleeve.
This first disengages the latches and then withdraws
the plug from the socket.

UL Recognition
LEMO connectors are recognized by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The approval of the complete system (LEMO
connector, cable and your equipment) will be easier because LEMO connectors are recognized.

CE marking
CE marking
means that the appliance or equipment bearing it complies with the protection requirements of one orseveral European safety directives. CE marking
applies to complete products or equipment, but not to electromechanical components, such as connectors.

RoHS
LEMO connector specifications conforms the requirements of the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU) of the European Parliament
and the latest amendments. This directive specifies the restrictions of the use of hazardous substances in electrical andelectronic equipment marketed in Europe.

Product safety notice & disclaimers
Please read and follow all instructions specified on the last page or on our website carefully and consult all relevent
national and international safety regulations for your application. Improper handling, cable assembly, or wrong use ofconnectors can result in hazardous situations.
LEMO products and services are provided “as is.” LEMO makes no warranties or representations with regard to LEMO
product & services or use of them, express, implied or statutory, including for accuracy, completeness, or security.
In no event shall LEMO be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special consequential damages, to property

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 bothsignal 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 evennon-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 toassure a quality signal transmission.
These contacts are very robust and can withstand wide outdoor temperature variations.
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.
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 be used directly into any LEMO connector where the F2 contact is used.
Benefits• Quick disconnect Push-Pull self latching system• Over 11 shells to meet various application needs• Stainless steel shell for rugged and harsh environment• Optional pre-terminated F2 contacts for simple and rapid field assembly• UL certified connectors• ARIB (BTA S-1005B), ANSI/SMPTE (304 and 311) and EBU (R100-1999) compatible­6

SERBALTM converter
SERBAL TM - SMPTE Electrical Reconfigurable Bidirectional Alternative Link
The LEMO SERBAL TM is a 4 channel multiplexer that makes HD/SDI to fibre conversion possible. The SERBAL TM provides a compact conver­sion unit which allows out­put from up to 4 cameras to be transmit­ted over a single standard
LEMO 3K.93C SMPTE cable.
The optical multiplexers of the SERBAL TM use Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). Each signal within a fibre has
a different optical wave length, enabling interference free transmission over longer distance.
The system is available in three versions: it can send 4x HD/SDI signals from the cameras to the OB van using one SMPTE

system provides a transition from HD over hybrid (copper and fibre) cables to HD over a single multiway fibre optic cable.
The MULTISHACK TM enables up to 3 or 6 cameras to be individually powered from one remote source (i.e. a local generator)
through the 3K.93C connectors and cables. The optical signals will continue to be transmitted through individual pairs of fibres
within a multiway fibre optic cable.
The power is inserted at the Camera end MULTISHACK TM via a waterproof mains / power connector and is distributed to thehybrid cables through individual circuits. The CCU / OB MULTISHACK TM is powered by the output voltage from the CCU.
The MULTISHACK TM uses the technology proven in the SHACK TM and has individual transmission circuits ensuring a manufacturer protection handshake for each channel.
Applications• Golf, skiing, auto racing, olympic games• Stadiums, racing tracks• Wherever multiple cameras are needed in a remotelocation
Advantages• Plug & play solution• One multiway cable is cheaper than multiple SMPTE
311 hybrid cables• The 6 cameras can be powered without additional
mains / DC leads to every camera
