2.2.7. XLINK-BHP2U-96C
XLINK-BHP2U-96C is a break out panel with three (3) X-LINK inputs on the rear of the BHP and 96
standard coax connectors on the front. Each X-LINK input is converted to a total of 32 BNCs. The
panel is 19” rack mountable and requires 2RU of rack space. The panel ships with three special 1m (3
feet) cables (no substitutions can be made). The XLINK-BHP2U-96C can be used to convert X-LINK
into a standard coax connection. These coax connectors can then be used to feed monitoring
equipment, Evertz does not recommend the use of this BHP to feed downstream equipment expecting
SMPTE standard video signals. Evertz makes no claims that the coax copy of X-LINK video will meet
the SMPTE standards for SD, HD or 3Gbps. The BHP panel can be used to extend X-LINK by
converting to standard coax cable (Belden 1694A or comparable cable) and offering extension up to
50m (150 feet).
