CopperHead Line to Include opticalCON Connectors

Telecast Fiber Systems’s CopperHead line of fiber-optic video systems will now ship with Neutrik’s opticalCON optical fiber connectors, which will enable broader connectivity across the CopperHead product range and greater economies for mobile productions.

The opticalCON connectors will be available for all CopperHead models, with the CopperHead Infinity Digital Media Camcorder (DMC)—a camera-mounted fiber-optic transceiver for the Thomson Grass Valley Infinity camcorder—the first to ship with them.

Neutrik ‘s opticalCON connector features a heavy-duty cable-retention scheme and an automatically self-sealing shutter that protects the fiber connection from dirt and other contaminants.
