SPEC SHEET
ProAx
®
Fiber Connector Series
ADC introduces the ProAx
®
Fiber Connector
Series, designed by broadcast professionals for
broadcast professionals, combining its proven
innovation, knowledge and quality in broadcast
connector design and manufacturing with its
industry-leading proficiency in fiber connectivity.
The result is a true broadcast harsh-environment
fiber optic connector series.
The ProAx fiber connector series is a modular
system that allows for great flexibility. ADC’s
patented gender change feature of this
connector series allows users to change genders
in less than 30 seconds, using only standard
wrenches. Hybrid fiber (HF) and quad fiber (F4)
connectors are designed to be terminated and
repaired in the field. ADC’s patented Avalanche
™

technology makes these field serviceable
connectors the highest performing, easiest to
install, most secure and reliable connectors on
the market.
This new fiber connector series compliments the
ProAx triax connector series providing multiple

applications for triax and fiber based camera
connectivity in one location. Both connector
series share a common mounting system
featuring the 45° mounting kit and yoke clamps
for cable mount connectors.

Factory Termination Options
ADC’s ProAx fiber connector family includes
preterminated Quad Fiber (F4) connectors. The
series is designed for flexible ordering depending
on the connector and length needs. The cable
assemblies feature ADC’s superior tactical fiber
cable with reduced bend radius singlemode fiber
components and a stainless steel strength member.
ADC also offers ProAx fiber connectors for
customers that are interested in performing their
own factory terminations. The factory termination
connectors are for direct connectorization of the
BX5 connectors without Avalanche.
Field Termination Option
ProAx
®
fiber connectors are available as a true
broadcast complete field termination solution,
featuring the innovative Avalanche
™
fiber

splicing technology. The Avalanche optical insert
utilizes V-groove technology securing, sealing,
and protecting the spliced fiber while providing
exceptional optical performance.
Avalanche also features Lights-Out technology. By
applying a light source to the factory pre-polished
end of the BX5 connector, the installer is ensured
that the fiber ends are properly aligned for
optimal signal transfer.
Field fiber termination of the fiber components
of ProAx connectors is designed for moderately
trained installers, and uses standard industry
tooling. All copper components are crimped
and secured using standard tooling similar to
a triax connector.

Hybrid Fiber (HF) Connectors
Overview
The ProAx
®
Hybrid Fiber (HF) Connectors are the industry’s first
field repairable, gender changeable, reliable, high-performance
connector designed to be as easy to use as ProAx triax
connectors. The ProAx HF is engineered to withstand tough
mobile environments with generous use of stainless steel on
wear surfaces, shuttered optics to prevent contamination and
accidents, and exclusive o-ring protection that provides an
IP68 rating without external protection boots. Moreover, the
ProAx HF connector offers far higher optical performance than
existing formats and supports newer high-data-rate demands.

Quad Fiber (F4) Connectors
Overview
ADC’s ProAx
®
Quad Fiber (F4) connector is quickly becoming
the industry-standard harsh environment multi-fiber connector.
With its superb and consistent mechanical and optical
performance, the ProAx F4 connectors are the connectors
of choice for outside broadcast vehicle links, high traffic and
connect areas. The IP-68 rated four-fiber connector boasts
the same advantages, features and benefits as the ProAx
HF connector. It is available as a factory terminated cable
assembly using the ADC tactical reduced bend radius fiber
cable, a factory termination connector that can be assembled
at the customer’s factory, or as a field termination connector
featuring our Avalanche

™
technology.
