Argosy Adds To Its Infrastructure Range At BVE

Argosy, a leading international supplier of HD broadcast cables and studio infrastructure products, is showing a new video patch panel for the first time at BVE 2012 (Earls Court, stand i34, 14 – 16 February).
Manufactured by BES, the high performance 24-way panel is designed for uncompromised performance even with 1080p 3Gb/s signals.
The 1U MUSA panel is built with high durability gold plated connectors, giving an insertion loss of less than 0.5dB and a true 75Ω nominal impedance. Each panel is tested with a 1080p signal over 50m of cable before delivery to guarantee performance to SMPTE 424M. Complementary U links and patchcords, in a range of colours for coding, are also available from Argosy.
"For many applications in broadcast infrastructure the traditional MUSA patch panel is the most logical and cost-effective interconnection solution,” said Chris Smeeton, director at Argosy. “We used our long-standing relationship with BES to bring this new product to our customers: the familiar 24-way 1U panel with excellent 3Gb/s performance."
The Argosy display at BVE will provide all the answers for systems engineers. It will include a broad sample of the company’s huge range of products, including racks and cable management as well as copper, fibre and connectors. For those considering installing some fibre connectivity there will be advice on low-cost methods of fitting connectors to cables and the chance to try the unique new fibre cleaning tool which ensures reliable transmission.
"BVE has grown to become an important date in our calendar, because it is a chance for working engineers from all around the UK to come and see the practical solutions available,” Smeeton added. “We look forward to it as a great way to meet and discuss technology solutions with our customers, which ensures we are always on top of trends and ready to commission new products as the need arises."
