Liberty Wire & Cable Offers Active Plates, Multiple Solutions for Extending AV Signals

Liberty’s new Active Plates and Panels, developed for the company’s PanelCrafters division, extend the distance electronic signals can travel without degradation. Ingeniously designed to solve installation challenges and improve performance, they promise installers enhanced design flexibility as well as dramatic savings in both time and expense.

Liberty’s broad selection of Active Plates are equipped as needed with powered amplifiers, signal boosters and HDMI repeaters to serve the needs of AV professionals who must increasingly deal with a greater variety of AV signals in more demanding environments. Such factors as signal type, wire quality, and other connections in the signal path, can adversely affect signal quality and strength. DVI, HDMI and USB signals, for example, are greatly reduced when transmitted more than 15 feet.

Liberty’s Digital, VGA, USB and HDMI Active Plates and Panels, coupled with the company’s in-depth technical expertise, provide an ideal solution for AV professionals who need to extend the distance an electronic signal can travel without degradation, in both digital and analog environments. All Liberty’s active products are fabricated from high-quality aluminum, and designed to fit perfectly into all standard-size junction boxes.
In addition to superb plate construction and design flexibility, PanelCrafters™ offers the most streamlined and accurate proofing process in the industry. Proofs are consistent between Liberty’s on-line quoting programs, and quotes produced by PanelCrafters staff. PanelCrafters up-front proofing process makes the quote-to-order process fast and easy. Up-front proofing ensures that plates are produced exactly as requested and always on time.

Liberty Wire & Cable Launches LibertyLinxTM Composite Control Cables

Liberty’s new state-of-the-art cables optimize the performance of almost any wire-based control system available, easing the path toward installing highly effective command, control and communication systems. Designed and built to the highest engineering standards, the LibertyLinx cables seamlessly integrate into residential, commercial and SOHO installation environments.

Their variety and quality make them perfect solutions for a vast array of installation challenges, including adding lanes to an information superhighway, establishing audio/video and data distribution runs, balancing audio and video signals, meeting bi-directional needs, enabling broadband dual-DSS distribution, communicating between zones, controlling Web browsers remotely, operating window treatments, and serving the wiring needs of touch panels, control systems, home automation cabinets, networked devices, video projectors, security cameras, and much more.

The series includes:

• LibertyLinx Standard Control Cable

• LibertyLinx-Q Control Cable
• LibertyLinx-QM-Plenum Control Cable
• LibertyLinx Specialized Control Cable

Each cable is constructed with an abrasion resistant outer jacket, helping it glide over nail tips and splinters, and making it extremely easy-to-pull in any installation. The cables also feature a distinctive identification stripe that visually stands out in wood and metal framing. Some of the new cables are available in PVC as well as plenum jackets.

The control cables are designed to streamline installations while saving companies both time and money — maintaining the Liberty Advantage. They can be used, for example, to connect HDTV, broadband Internet, home networking, line-level audio, RS-232, and projector control systems without pulling multiple runs.

LibertyLinx cables are also designed to work flawlessly with both Liberty’s ConnecTec™ termination system for coaxial cables and Liberty’s CatMaster™ termination system for category cables.

Liberty Wire & Cable Exhibits New QuickLinxTM Mini RGBHV Cables and ConnecTecTM Connectors

Liberty’s new QuickLinx Mini RGBHV cables feature efficient solid-center conductors. The new ConnecTec products allow use of a single-piece connector instead of the multiple pieces needed for stranded-center cable. Meticulously designed to simplify installations and improve performance, they also promise installers savings in both time and expense, while adding to Liberty’s already unmatched array of connectivity solutions.

“Liberty is well known in the industry for providing AV professionals with on-target solutions to make their businesses both competitive and profitable,” said Bill Schripsema, Liberty Director of Product Management. “We feel our new combination of solid-center conductor cables and termination-friendly connectors will save installers significant time and money with installations involving RGBHV applications.”

The new QuickLinx Mini RGBHV cables are equipped with solid-center conductors, and are available in 25 and 23 AWG versions. The solid conductor construction provides better performance in signal distance and frequency response than the typical stranded-center conductor cables now available in the market.

The solid-center 25 AWG cable is ideal for longer RGBHV cable runs. The solid-center 23 AWG RGBHV cable is swept to 3 GHz, and perfect for short runs and HD applications. It delivers premium performance for all analog video applications.

Liberty continues to offer a 23 AWG serial digital, single-coaxial legacy cable, which served as the basis for the new RGBHV design. This HD cable is swept to 4.5 GHz. All the cables are available in bulk.

The new ConnecTec Compression Connectors are also available in versions for 25 and 23 AWG cables. The cables’ solid-center conductor allows the use of a one-piece connector, as in Liberty’s popular ConnecTec RG59 and RG6 series of cables. Usually, mini RGB cables have stranded-center conductors and need three- or four-piece connectors for successful termination.
The simpler one-piece connector helps installers using 25 and 23 AWG cables achieve the same time savings they enjoy using the RG59 and RG6 cables. ConnecTec BNC connectors for the new cables are available in nickel-plated versions. RCA connectors are available in both nickel- and gold-plated versions.
