Van Damme

AVI series audio/video composite multicores

New for this catalogue is a range of audio and video composite multicores for the broadcast and

presentation industries. There are two types based around the Van Damme miniature

coax and blue series studio grade audio multicore inner pairs; and one which uses

Van Damme standard 75 Ohm coax for the video cores. These cables provide an

elegant solution for the transmission of analogue audio and video signals from source

to destination within the same jacket. The standard 75 Ohm type 268-375-202 has

also been tested successfully with serial digital video over 50 metres.

Materials

Van Damme now use a higher purity oxygen free copper for the conductors -Ultra

Pure Oxygen Free Copper (UPOFC). The use of this material further improves the

‘solderability’ and conductivity of the conductor resulting in faithful and transparent

signal reproduction in use.

Audio pairs: Polypropylene (PP)is used for the conductor insulation. This material has

a higher temperature rating than most polyethylene insulation giving excellent

resistance to ‘shrink back’ during soldering. Its inherent hardness makes it ideal for

the thin wall insulation used by Van Damme in their analogue audio multicores. This

thin wall insulation ensures that the overall

diameter of these cables is kept to a minimum without compromising electrical

performance.Electrically it is very similar to polyethylene with a low dielectric

constant (2.25 for PP solid types) and high stability across the lower frequency

ranges associated with analogue audio signals.

Pairs are twisted together with a tinned UPOFC drain wire and shielded with an

aluminium/polyester foil screen.The 150% coverage method employed ensures that

the pair is fully screened and that the drain wire remains in close contact with the conductive aluminium foil allowing interference to be effectively taken to ground. These pairs are then overlaid with a flexible PVC composite jacket.

VDC online catalogue Miniature video cores: Foam skin polyethylene is used for the conductor insulation. This special insulation is made up of individual pockets of inert gas suspended in polyethylene, resulting in a low dielectric constant and most importantly low capacitance. The skin refers to the outer layer of the insulation, which forms during the extrusion process. This skin is harder than the layer of insulation below it ensuring that the conductor is well protected.
