Amphenol RF 12G MCX Connectors have been added to New Yorker Electronics’ lineup of 12G optimised Amphenol RF connectors. Designed specifically for 4K/Ultra-HD broadcast applications, they are used largely in 4K/8K video cameras, mobile broadcasting, digital signage and other state-of-the-art video applications.

These new PCB connectors and cable connectors boast standard 12Gbps performance per SMPTE.

Amphenol RF's line of high-frequency 75-Ohm Micro Coaxial connectors support data transfer rates of up to 12Gbps.

This enables the transmission of high-resolution, uncompressed video signals.

The new RF connector provides 4K and Ultra-HD quality signals in a micro-miniature package size and is ideal for broadcast modules and video routers.

Mount configurations are designed with a reliable push-on coupling mechanism. The MCX connectors join New Yorker Electronics’ already robust portfolio of BNC and HD-BNC products that are also optimised to support data transfer rates up to 12Gbps.

The addition of 75 ohm 12G MCX connectors brings versatility to the current line, allowing customers to terminate to the board in designs where the BNC or HD-BNC is not able to be mounted directly.

Utilising the MCX connector allows the 12G signal to be carried from the panel to the PCB using a single transmission line without compromising the quality of the video.

The 12GSDI MCX interconnect solutions are available as PCB connectors with edge-mount, straight or right-angle configurations, or as cable connectors for industry standard Belden 4855R cable.

Ideal applications for these MCX connectors include 4K/8K video cameras, mobile broadcast, digital signage, remote viewing and video encoders and routers.
