ADC offers high-quality video patch cords capable of<br />handling uncompressed high-definition digital video,<br />serial digital video, and analog as well as AES audio.<br />ADC patch cords feature a patented True 75 U<br />design made of the highest quality materials that<br />virtually eliminates bit errors, and provides excellent<br />mechanical durability.<br />The digital television revolution is stretching the limits<br />of the physical plant technology designed for analog<br />video copper. Cable and connectors not optimized<br />for the digital environment can seriously degrade the<br />digital signal being transported. The problem is that all WECO-standard jacks and patch cords exhibit<br />an impedance violation of between 58 and 62 U in the patched state. This becomes a major source of<br />attenuation and bit errors in serial digital and high-definition video signals.<br /><strong>Patented HD Patch Cords</strong><br />ADC's ST series standard-size patch cords feature a patented design that provides a true 75 U interface<br />in the patched state when used with ADC's SVJ-2 super video jack family. ST series maintains the WECO<br />interface for maximum industry compatibility and provides a true 75 U interface.</p><p><strong>HD Rated VX Series</strong><br />ADC's VXT standard, midsize and MUSA standard video patch cords feature a unique plug design that<br />optimizes impedance performance during the patched state. The unique plug design is optimized for<br />HD video applications for WECO midsize and MUSA formats. For WECO standard size HD patching, the<br />ST series is recommended.<br />Both designs reduce or eliminate attenuation and bit errors in serial digital and high-definition video<br />signals, especially in the uncompressed mode.</p>
