Field-Friendly Products

In the field, situations often arise where a completed cable assembly cannot be used. For example:

• When running cables through an existing conduit
• When terminating existing bulk cable
  that has been run through a wall
  
• When fixing a connection that is broken
  

In each of these situations, it would help to have a field-friendly product on hand. L-com offers a line of field-friendly products that addresses these difficult applications. Our screw terminal connectors allow termination without the need of special tools and our breakaway SVGA cable assemblies allow installation in many tight-fitting environments. The following products will help solve your challenging field installation problems.

Field Termination Connectors

DB9	HD15 (VGA)	Mini-DIN 4 pin (SVHS or S-Video)

These products are all panel-mountable and fit in standard gang boxes. Field technicians and engineers often use them for temporarily terminating serial or video connections for display or for mobile stations. They are also perfect for making video wall plates after running bulk video cable through conduit.

Breakaway Style SVGA Cables

For example, if you are running SVGA cables to hook up a projector on the ceiling of a conference room, our breakaway style cables are for you! These cables feature a low-profile "break" at one end of the cable that allows you to feed it through conduit as thin as ¾" diameter.

Knowing these cables are often put in places where fire code restrictions exist, L-com offers them in three different jacket types:

• PVC for most applications
• Plenum for fire-sensitive applications
• LSZH for smoke-sensitive applications

L-com lists compliance information on every product to save you time.
