The triaxial connector assembly includes a connector with a housing defining a first end and a second end, the first end of the housing defining a triaxial interface adapted to mate with a triaxial connector, the second end of the housing defining a cable termination end. The connector also includes the media converter positioned within the housing, the media converter configured to convert fiber signals and electrical signals carried by a hybrid fiber optic/electrical cable to a coaxial signal carried forward by the triaxial interface. A camera system using the connector and a method of terminating a hybrid cable to a triaxial connector are also disclosed.Other References
