Mundelein, IL – Digidesign’s Venue system is a state-of the art, live sound production mixing platform that offers unparalleled audio quality, integrated effects, and intuitive operating software. These systems are available in three different sizes to accommodate smaller rooms to large concert arenas.
Hardware-wise, Venue consists of a familiar, user-friendly mixer control surface, a digital signal processing local I/O rack (FOH rack) and a stage input/output rack (stage rack). All are expandable to meet the end users’ needs. Communication between the FOH rack and the Stage Rack is carried via two pairs of, digitally rated, 75 ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectivity. (One pair is a redundant fail-safe). more

In this age when social media and mobile technology are spawning an environment of instant answers and a “get exactly what you want” mindset, Clark Wire & Cable has come up with a system that is sure to meet the needs of this growing segment.

There has always been that one job where we wish we could have exactly the cables we need in one bundle. We may have even gone as far as contacting a cable manufacturer to inquire about such a cable. Two of the most typical ansers I have found have been either, “it can’t be done” or “sure we can do it, just give me an order for 20,000ft.” As neither of those are typically an option for us, we resort to dealing with an extra cable or two or wire tying a bunch of cables together and hoping for the best. more

Mundelein, IL. – Connectors using composite fiber/copper mediums are probably the most widely known methods for broadcasting high definition signals through video. What if the environment calls for a tough and durable fiber/copper connector compatible with fiber/copper cables, or a hybrid optical connector that could use both singlemode and multimode contacts?

In a more industrial environment where the chance of contamination in the connectors is greater than a “normal� broadcast environment, you would need a connector that can sustain the risk of contamination and the potential risk of malfunction in the connector.

At Clark Wire and Cable, the solution was to find the most versatile and durable connector available. They found one and call it the FocusGuide. With this connector the installer can choose how many fiber or copper contacts they need for their application. If they need more

Mundelein, IL. – Clark Wire and Cable has added another product to their product line. Combining the tough and resistant Cat5-Flex cable with a super heavy duty DataTac RJ45 connector, Clark Wire & Cable has created an assembly that can withstand any outdoor environments, heavy abuse conditions or contaminating elements.

The DataTac Cat5-Flex assembly is appropriate for use in areas where temperatures are unpredictable, water or contaminating elements are a concern, or where harsh environments could potentially cause problems with the connection.

The DataTac Cat5-Flex assembly is appropriate for use in the field or with staging applications where harsh environments might be a problem. This turnkey assembly is easy for the engineer because there are no tools required.

The DataTac Connector is a tactical RJ45 connector with an IP-67 rating, helping protect against contamination from more

Mundelein, IL. – There are many possibilities when it comes to choosing cable, and sometimes the customer is left figuring out the specifications they need for their cable. At Clark, we have found a solution – let the customer decide the cable’s structure.

If the customer needs a composite cable with fiber or digital cables, or a hybrid feeder cable with single mode and multimode fibers, Clark will structure a cable directly around the customer’s request. Now the customer could order what they want.

There are many benefits included with this service. It solves the problem of limited versatility when choosing cable, satisfies the demand for adequate customer service, and breaks down boundaries between the customer and their right to buy what they want, and how they want it.

Customers using this service will not have to search for the perfect cables for their application, more
