GEPCO UNVEILS THIN-PROFILE, 110-OHM
DIGITAL AUDIO DUAL-PAIR CABLE AT AES

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Convenience for Interconnecting Inputs and Outputs of AES3 Digital Audio Devices

NEW YORK, November 30, 2001––Gepco International, Inc. is introducing the D5526EZ, a dual version of its popular thin-profile 5526 series of 110-ohm digital cables, at AES 2001, Booth #628. The new dual-pair construction offers a convenient way to interconnect the input and output of an AES3 digital audio device over a single cable.

The D5526EZ features the same thin-profile, 26-gage and easy termination construction found in Gepco’s other 5526 series of cables. The co-extruded zip type construction of D5526EZ allows for easy breakout, connector termination and installation, while the thin profile achieves smaller bundle diameters in systems with large signal density. To further ease termination, the D5526EZ has a bonded foil shield with drain wire for quick shield termination.

In addition to easy termination, D5526EZ features both precision electrical and mechanical performance. The D5526EZ utilizes a foam polypropylene dielectric for low (more) attenuation, tight manufacturing process control for an exacting 110-ohm characteristic impedance and a tight-twist lay with a foil shield for excellent noise rejection. In addition to the insulated conductors, D5526EZ also has a special non-conductive polypropylene rod that stabilizes and maintains the impedance as the cable is flexed.

Gepco International, Inc., with headquarters in Des Plaines, IL, and a branch location in Burbank, CA, has been a leading provider of studio and broadcast audio and video cables for more than 18 years. The company also specializes in manufacturing custom cable assemblies, panels, patch bay harnesses and breakout boxes. In addition, Gepco stocks and distributes connectors, patchbays and other cable-related products. For more information, visit the Gepco Web site at www.gepco.com.
