Optical fiber is a great choice to use for HDMI signal distribution.
Not only does it extend the transmission distances, but also helps to support bandwidth requirements of uncompressed 4k and 8k video signals – especially when compared with copper cables that cannot carry as much data at higher resolutions (and still remain reliable).
This article explores several popular options available today from TechLogix at PacRad, which includes a variety of Fiber Optic cables and equipment designed to future-proof your Audio/Video installations!
HDMI Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber-based HDMI cables, such as TechLogix MOFO™ line with a true fiber core can extend up to 50m (165 feet). Pre-terminated connectors accommodate installations in seconds and provide complete protection from RF EM interference.
The optical construction of these high-quality HDMI fiber optic cables also makes them perfect for any environment where they will be installed – from indoors on walls or ceilings, to all the way outdoors under roofing material.
With re-terminable and reutilizable multimode fibers, you are free to upgrade your current installation in the future too, and you’re assured top notch performance no matter what project goes live next.
The use of fiber-optic cables for HDMI is a great way to expand the capabilities and usefulness in today’s modern home and commercial applications. These types of MOFO™ (Media Over Fiber Optic) cables can be re-terminated so you have more options down the line, without having too many cords lying around!
