We present the latest technologies in cables and connectors, owing to their pivotal role in the transmission of data in the broadcast business
Cables play a key role in the broadcast of audio and video, by annexing themselves to devices with the help of connectors. These help the respective devices perform its broadcasting function effectively. The selection of appropriate cables and their connectors, dwells on the elements that influence the utilisation of existing cables and the planning and installation thereof to ensure a cost-effective and future-proof solution in a business where everything is gradually moving to the cloud.
Cables and connectors are an integral part of the broadcast set-up, since they facilitate the means by which the information signal transmits from one device to another. The often-overlooked peripherals carry more importance in a broadcast system as they affect the quality of video and audio signals.
Dilip Kathuria, CEO, CDM Technologies and Solutions, said, “To imagine a world without cables and connectors is analogous to life stranded at a single point.”

Like USB connections, HDMI connectors are usually on the edge of a circuit board, and thus, they don’t lock. . The lack of a lock can provide a certain margin of safety.
Many broadcast companies are migrating to fibre optics, for their cable needs. One of the main benefits of this technology is that it offers a large bandwidth, over longer distances, along with a better signal-to-noise ratio. It demonstrates immunity to interference and reduced size and weight. The main applications of fibre optics are HDTV camera links, audio and video set-ups, broadcasting studios and newsrooms. According to industry experts, the key factors to determine the usage of fibre optics are whether one needs a single or multi-mode cable, the quantity required and its networking.
