Harting's high-density cabling for theatre

11 October 2010

UK - The Harting Han-Modular series of industrial connector inserts allows event installers in the theatre, concert and AV sectors to create high-density connectivity and cabling solutions with total signal handling flexibility - including audio, video, communications, data and power - in a range of rugged IP65/67 hoods and housings suitable for harsh handling conditions.

Multiple contact style modules can be mixed to suit particular needs. Multi-pin modules can support analogue and digital audio transfer. Various coaxial modules can handle SDI and HD-SDI video. A full range of power modules allows current handling from a few amperes through to 100 A. RJ45 data modules allow Cat 5 10/100 Mbit/s or Cat 6e 1 Gbit/s Ethernet transfer via Harting patch leads.

The integrated screening design of the HanGigabit Ethernet module allows secure signal and power modules to be densely packed in a single housing. For optimum signal screening and increased transmission distances, Harting also offers SC fibre-optic modules.

The optional Harting hoods and housings accommodating such inserts include the Han B series with rugged Han-Easy Lock levers with versions available in anti-reflective black finish. A Han Easy hood design allows side access for easier wiring. The innovative Han-Yellock design allows single-handed pushbutton mating: particularly useful for connections made in awkward access areas. The Han-Ecoseries provides a lightweight but robust package, ideal for portable equipment, says the company.
