2006 will see High Definition broadcasting in the UK Direct Cable Systems has introduced a comprehensive range of products to provide a complete High Definition solution.
With the announcement of the exclusive UK distribution agreement with Gepco International, DCS brings years of US market leading expertise to the UK . The NFL, NBC Olympic coverage and NEP Supershooters are a few of the many high profile customers that have been supplied in the US.

The Measurable Difference in Precision
The true measure of the quality of a cable is the precision and consistency of the physical and electrical properties. By achieving tight tolerances on all critical aspects, such as diameters, centering, foam density and periodic variations, Gepco coaxial cables attain exceptional electrical performance. The result is a cable that has measurable superior attenuation, impedance and return-loss specifications, ensuring clear and accurate video signal transmission.

Certified Bandwidths for High Definition/Resolution Formats
Current HD digital video data and high resolution analogue video signals require more bandwidth than previous formats. To keep pace with new trends and formats Gepco has continually increased the rated bandwidth of each cable type. All Gepco HD coax is certified and 100% sweep-tested to 3GHz for uncompressed HDTV transmission, while broadband and analogue coaxial cables are rated to 2.4 GHz and 1 GHz respectively. By doing so, the return loss, attenuation and impedance of the cable is verified to stay within the necessary and defined limits across the given frequency range. As a result, high frequency video signals and digital bit-streams can be clearly and accurately transmitted through the cable interconnect system.

Durability for Dependable Performance
Proprietary gas-injected foam dielectric and jacket materials have exceptional crush resistance and aging properties. This means that as it is used Gepco coaxial cable is less susceptible to structural damage and physical deformations that can cause electrical changes in the cable, again preserving the integrity of the video signal.

Meets or Exceeds Industry Standards
Each Gepco video coaxial cable is designed and manufactured to achieve the performance required for its intended application. In particular, several video formats have industry standards that specify the required cable performance, such a SMPTE 292M for uncompressed 1.485 Gbs HDTV video and SMPTE259M for standard definition DTV. As part of the quality control process, all listed HD coaxial cables are certified to meet and often exceed these SMPTE specifications for digital video transmission.

100% Tested and Verified
All cable reels are tested and verified through a comprehensive quality control process that measures and verified all critical electrical and mechanical characteristics. A comprehensive QC process ensures that each reel maintains a high level of performance and consistency.
