ZeeVee ZV709-3-X20 Hydra AV Cables for HDbridge 2600/2500 and ZvPro Series (20-Pack, 3')

Product Overview

The ZeeVee ZV709-3-X20 is a 20-pack of 3-foot Hydra audio/video breakout cables for ZeeVee HDbridge 2500/2600 and ZvPRO encoder installations. Each cable connects via a full-size DIN connector to the encoder and breaks out to seven connectors providing component HD video, analog stereo audio, digital audio, composite video, and S-video. This bulk pack is designed for system integrators deploying multiple HDbridge 2500/2600 or ZvPRO encoders simultaneously in commercial AV headend builds.

Product Description

The ZV709-3-X20 provides the same proprietary ZeeVee Hydra cable as the single-unit ZV709-3, but in a 20-unit pack suited to large-scale HDbridge or ZvPRO headend installations. The DIN-to-7-breakout format is specific to ZeeVee HDbridge 2500/2600 and ZvPRO encoder input ports and is not interchangeable with standard DIN AV cables. Ordering the 20-pack reduces per-cable cost and eliminates the procurement overhead of ordering cables individually for multi-encoder system builds. The 3-foot length targets rack-adjacent source equipment installations where the source device is located near the encoder in the same rack bay or immediately adjacent.

Key Features

• 20-Pack — Reduces per-cable cost and simplifies procurement for multi-encoder HDbridge/ZvPRO installations.
• 3-Foot Length — Appropriate for rack-adjacent and same-bay source-to-encoder connections.
• 7-Connector Breakout — Provides component HD, analog audio L/R, digital audio, composite, and S-video from each encoder connection.
• Full-Size DIN to 7 Breakout — Proprietary ZeeVee connector format for HDbridge 2500/2600 and ZvPRO encoder input compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Bulk procurement for large HDbridge 2500/2600 headend installations
• Multi-encoder ZvPRO system builds in hospitality, healthcare, and education facilities
• System integrators stocking Hydra cables for ZeeVee headend projects

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cables interchangeable with standard DIN AV cables?

No. The ZV709-3-X20 uses a ZeeVee proprietary DIN format specific to HDbridge 2500/2600 and ZvPRO encoder input ports. Standard DIN AV cables are not compatible with these encoder connections.

When should I choose the 3-foot over the 6-foot Hydra cable?

The 3-foot ZV709-3 is appropriate when the source device (set-top box, media player, etc.) is located in the same rack bay or immediately adjacent to the encoder. For sources mounted further away or on a different rack shelf, use the 6-foot ZV709-6-X20.

Is the ZV709-3-X20 compatible with HDbridge 3000 encoders?

The ZV709-3-X20 is specified for HDbridge 2500/2600 and ZvPRO encoders. HDbridge 3000 uses different cable connections; verify compatibility in ZeeVee documentation before ordering for HDbridge 3000 applications.

Can I order fewer than 20 cables if I need a smaller quantity?

Yes. The ZV709-3 single-cable version is available for smaller quantities. The 20-pack pricing provides a per-unit discount for large deployments.
