Measuring 18.8mm in diameter and featuring a ‘compact and easy-to-reel’ design, Transit MC 2030 HD is specified for use in OB vans, at large events and for fixed installations. It comprises a flexible jacket that covers two double-shielded HD video lines (1.2L/4.8DZ) and a 1.5 mm² power line. The cable’s low damping value and screening capability facilitates 3G signal transfer over 100m.
