Broadcast

Reliable connections keep every moment on-air and on time

Behind every broadcast is a complex network of cameras, transmitters, control rooms and distribution systems that rely on consistent, high-performance connections. Our broad portfolio of RF connectors, cable assemblies and adapters keeps production teams connected in the studio, on location or in the field, supporting fast, reliable transmission of high-resolution content from source to screen.
Whether it’s live sports, news, concerts or streaming platforms, broadcast professionals trust our solutions to deliver clean signals with minimal loss and maximum durability. Designed to meet demanding industry standards, our products stand up to constant handling, frequent setup and breakdown and the challenging environments of live production.

Connecting Every Frame with Amphenol RF’s Broadcast Connectivity Solutions

Live broadcast demands speed, flexibility and uncompromising signal integrity. Our interconnect solutions ensure that cameras, switchers and control units operate without interruptions, enabling real-time editing, uplinks and distribution.

At the same time, the growth of high-resolution formats and IP-based workflows requires more bandwidth and cleaner signal paths. Our high-frequency coaxial connectors and precision cable assemblies support 4K and 8K video transmission, 

remote monitoring and emerging cloud-based production models. We help broadcasters adapt to new technologies while protecting performance and reliability in every link.
