Single Fibre Optic Cable Extends HDMI Signals to 300m

Today we announced the launch of our Fibre Optic HDMI Extender, a revolutionary product that allows HDMI signals to be transmitted over incredibly long distances using a standard single SC duplex multimode fibre optic cable. The unit's patent pending design makes it simple, and relatively low cost, to install monitors up to 300m from the HDMI Source.

The LINDY Fibre Optic HDMI Extender comprises two modules, a transmitter and a receiver, which are connected to both the HDMI source and display using HDMI cables of up to 3m in length. The modules are then connected together using any standard "off the shelf" SC duplex multimode cable (50/125μm). Previously, the only similar option for transmitting HDMI signals over longer lengths was to use at least two fibre optic cables and an Ethernet cable, making hidden cable runs extremely difficult and even then the maximum distance was 100m.

The latest addition to our audio visual range of connectivity products incorporates the very latest technology for extending HDMI signals, which eliminates the need for multiple cables including Ethernet patch cables that are normally required for DDC and remote control. The LINDY Fibre Optic HDMI Extender overcomes several issues including the cost of additional cables, simplicity of installation and incompatibility issues that can occur between devices when multiple cables are used.

Only available from LINDY, the Fibre Optic HDMI Extender provides full support for HD 1080p, HDCP, multi-channel audio, CEC and IR remote control all through the single fibre optic cable. The cable also includes an eye safety function that disables the laser automatically if the cable is broken and a power save mode if source device is powered off.
