opticalCON Cables

Reliable optical fiber connectivity is essential for professional broadcast, live event, and AV installations. opticalCON cables are ruggedized, high-performance fiber-optic connections that thrive in the challenging production environments found in pro A/V, live staging, and audio and video broadcasting. Built with heavy-duty, all-metal housings, IP65 waterproofing, dust protection shutters, and push-pull locking mechanisms, they excel in mobile field production, OB trucks, and touring. opticalCON cables often accommodate standard LC-Duplex connectors internally, providing easy integration with standard networking gear. The rugged construction of the opticalCON connector ensures these cables withstand repeated connections and harsh conditions. Whether outdoors, in an OB van, or as part of a permanent AV installation, they maintain dependable performance day after day.
