本标准定义了一种主要用于电视广播和视频设备的连接器，例如摄像机头到摄像机控制单元的连接。它定义了混合连接器，其中包含用于单模光纤的电触点和光纤触点的组合。它还包含尺寸公差，确保电气和光学接口的非破坏性配合，以及电气接口的功能可操作性。光纤接口的功能可操作性取决于光纤准备和端接，因此本标准不保证。本标准中描述的连接器主要用于SMPTE 311中描述的混合光纤摄像机电缆；但是，该连接器可单独使用，以满足其他要求。

This standard defines a connector primarily intended for use in television broadcasting and video equipment, such as camera head to camera control-unit connections. It defines hybrid connectors, which contain a combination of electrical contacts and fiber-optic contacts for single-mode fibers. It also contains dimensional tolerances which ensure nondestructive mating of the electrical and optical interfaces, and functional operability of the electrical interface. Functional operability of the optical interface is dependent upon fiber preparation and termination and is, therefore, not guaranteed by this standard.The connector described in this standard is intended for use primarily with the hybrid fiber optic camera cable described in SMPTE 311; however, this connector may be used independently to meet other requirements.
