Triaxial Camera Connectors
For years, the industry has been locked into connector designs that are difficult to terminate, and
even more difficult to field repair. ADC’s line of ProAx
®
Triaxial Camera Connectors will change
the way you think about this component forever. These connectors have innovative features such
as gender/type changability field repairable center conductors that eliminate the need to restrip,
o-rings that protect the signal path against moisture, fewer parts to assemble, and compatibility
with the tooling you already own.
Field Repairable
Triax connectors can really take a beating—
especially in field applications where dirt,
sand and moisture are everywhere. When the
female center conductor breaks, or the male
latches are worn, the entire assembly must be
cut off and reterminated.
Using a two-piece center conductor and a
housing assembly that can easily be replaced
in the field without having to restrip and
reterminate the entire connector, the patented
ADC ProAx triax connector allows you to
simply replace a damaged portion of the
connector with common tools. When a repair
is needed, the outer shell and insulator can be
removed; next you simply unscrew the center
conductor housing and replace the center
conductor assembly, reversing the process to
assemble. Absolutely no stripping or crimp tools
are required.
Gender Reversible
With ADC’s ProAx triax connectors, gender
parts can be swapped back and forth between
males and females in only a few seconds. This
process eliminates common problems such as
when you’ve just run a thousand feet of triax
only to discover the male is where the female
should be. Simply trade the male for the
female and continue with your project.
Format Reversible
With ADC’s U.S. and six international standard
(Global, BBC, Reverse BBC, French, German
and Japanese) versions, O.B. vans and
internationally televised events no longer mean
headaches for camera technicians. ADC’s
patented ProAx triax connectors can be format
reversed between U.S. and global formats
in only seconds. Plus, ADC’s ProAx triax
connectors are designed to fit standard U.S.
triax cables as well as global metric cables.
