Connectors and Cables
3G-SDI and MADI Ports
Use 75 Ωcoaxial cable with BNC connectors. Cables and connectors used should comply with 3G-SDI or
AES10/MADI interconnection standards, depending of carried signal. The maximum cable length is dependent on
the bandwidth of the signal (AES10/MADI, SD, HD or 3G), the specification of the cable and connectors.
Optical Connections
Each Repeat8-NANO Series device can be populated with two SFP fibre transceivers, each for duplex LC
connection..Transceivers are hot-swappable.
Fiber cable type depends on the transceiver used.
For portable applications, such as touring and other temporary installations, ruggedized HMA Expanded Beam
Connectors, mounted on 1 RU panels and portable cables on cable drums are available.
Please refer to the Product Brochure available at www.BroaMan.com.
Power Connection
For DC connection use dedicated included PSU with connectors and maintain polarity.
Please note:
SFP fibre transceivers are application specific and must match the coaxial interface
