1 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 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. SPEC SHEET 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 housing assembly that can easily be replaced in the field without having to restrip and reterminate the entire connector, the patented ADC ProAx 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. Global Female Jack (Fischer compatible) Global Male Plug (Fischer compatible) Gender-Reversible With ADC s ProAx 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 four European (Fischer, Lemo 4M connectors, Lemo 3T connectors and Lemo 4E connectors) versions, O.B. vans and internationally televised events no longer mean headaches for camera technicians. ADC s patented ProAx connectors can be format reversed between U.S. and global formats in only seconds. Plus, ADC s ProAx connectors are designed to fit standard U.S. triax cables as well as global metric 8mm, 11mm and 14mm cables

2 Applications High-Definition Digital Ready True 75 Ohm Impedance The ADC ProAx connector line is designed for maximum bandwidth for serial digital and high-definition digital applications while maintaining a true 75 Ohm impedance. All critical path components are gold-plated for outstanding durability and connectivity. US Standard Connectors (Kings Compatible) Male Connector Assembly Stainless crush ring and ground Female Connector Assembly Solid Outer Shield Ground The solid outer braid ground in the ProAx connectors maintains the ground no matter what the conditions. This eliminates camera shutdown from intermittent grounds, as well as the need for special conductive gaskets between the male and female connectors. Sturdy Construction Each female ProAx connector is made of machined brass with a stainless steel crush ring to assure maximum crush strength. The assembly will not go out of round under normal mobile application wear and tear. Patented Panel-Mount System Each ProAx connector can be either cable-mounted or panel-mounted with our patented mounting kit. The mounting kit securely fastens the male or female connector to a steel plate that is attached to standard panels. Two different mounting options are available: a unique 45 and the standard 90 straight. ADC s angled 45 mounting option reduces the weight of the cables on the connectors, providing less strain on the connectors than the traditional 90 mounting. Mounting yokes are available separately for custom metalwork applications. Compatibility Ultem molded insulator Gold-plated center conductor housing assembly Global Connectors (Fischer Compatible Shown) Global Female Connector Global Male Connector Universal Male/Female Body Bulkhead mounting surfaces Standard size crimp sleeves ProAx connectors are engineered to be compatible with other industry triaxial connectors from Kings Electronics Co., Inc., W.W. Fischer SA, and LEMO SA, as well as standard industry tools and dies. O-rings STD 7/8 wrench flats

Features Solder style termination Connectors are gender and format interchangeable Field repairable without having to replace the connector or open the camera Compatible with industry standard

3 Bulkhead Mount for Camera Mounting ADC s slim-line versions of its five triax formats are specifically engineered for OEM camera use and low-profile bulkhead mounting. These new bulkhead connectors retain the rugged patent-protected features that ensure high performance and superior field productivity. Features Solder style termination Connectors are gender and format interchangeable Field repairable without having to replace the connector or open the camera Compatible with industry standard triaxial connectors Reverses between US and four global formats in just seconds Qualified to demanding MIL-STD 202. Triax Protective Weather Boots ADC s Triax Weather boots provide ultimate protection for your Triax connector investment. Features Rear view: all formats US Standard female US Standard male Global standard female Available in US and all other formats Feature a weather-tight patent pending lip-over seal protection Each boot is adjustable to fit any cable size Mating cap is attached via stainless steel lanyard, and is hermaphroditic for both male (plug) and female (jack) boots Made of a special high-performance UL rated rubber compound that can withstand extreme temperature ranges from -45c to +55c
