About SMPTE Fiber
SMPTE fiber cables provide you with a simplified way to carry multiple signals as well as power,
over long distances. This is useful in broadcast scenarios, as you don’t need to connect several
cables for each camera that is connected to your switcher.
With a SMPTE 311 hybrid fiber optic cable, you can use one single industry standard optical
fiber cable to connect each camera to your ATEM switcher, and provide all video, power,
talkback, tally and control signals along one cable. With optical fiber you can also carry these
signals and power over longer distances up to 2 kilometers.
NOTE The male and female ends of a SMPTE 311 hybrid fiber optic cable can be
identified by looking for the male and female pins inside the tip of the
SMPTE 304 connector. The gender of the connectors is not determined by their
outward appearance.
