ADC offers high-quality video patch cords capable of
handling uncompressed high-definition digital video,
serial digital video, and analog as well as AES audio.
ADC patch cords feature a patented True 75 U
design made of the highest quality materials that
virtually eliminates bit errors, and provides excellent
mechanical durability.
The digital television revolution is stretching the limits
of the physical plant technology designed for analog
video copper. Cable and connectors not optimized
for the digital environment can seriously degrade the
digital signal being transported. The problem is that all WECO-standard jacks and patch cords exhibit
an impedance violation of between 58 and 62 U in the patched state. This becomes a major source of
attenuation and bit errors in serial digital and high-definition video signals.
Patented HD Patch Cords
ADC's ST series standard-size patch cords feature a patented design that provides a true 75 U interface
in the patched state when used with ADC's SVJ-2 super video jack family. ST series maintains the WECO
interface for maximum industry compatibility and provides a true 75 U interface.
HD Rated VX Series
ADC's VXT standard, midsize and MUSA standard video patch cords feature a unique plug design that
optimizes impedance performance during the patched state. The unique plug design is optimized for
HD video applications for WECO midsize and MUSA formats. For WECO standard size HD patching, the
ST series is recommended.
Both designs reduce or eliminate attenuation and bit errors in serial digital and high-definition video
signals, especially in the uncompressed mode.
