Why Fiber?
In heavy-volume, metropolitan area networks, the limit on how much bandwidth or data that can be
carried across a copper line can become a bottleneck for enterprise access and ultimately, for revenue.
Fiber Optic Cable alleviates this problem by offering substantially greater bandwidth.
Multi-Mode Fiber
Transmission Distance (up to 350m using 50/125µm fiber)
Multi-mode is designed for transmission distances such as those found within a single building or facility
and thus, is ideal for multi-channel television broadcast systems. Multi-mode may be used to send video
signals from room to room or floor to floor. The Multi-Mode VelocityKVM Extender allows video and
peripheral transmission distances up to 350 meters using 50/125µm fiber, making it an ideal solution for
in-house applications.
Single-Mode Fiber
Transmission Distance (up to 40 kilometers)
Single-mode is designed for long distance transmissions and thus, is ideal for multi-channel broadcast
systems. Single-mode may be used to send video signals from workstation to workstation, from building
to building, or from studio to transmitter (STL) with a video resolution of 1920 x 1200. Using 9µm fiber
with SM/UPC connectors, the Single-Mode VelocityKVM Extender allows video and peripheral
transmission distances up to 40 kilometers, (25 miles) making it an ideal solution for metropolitan area
networks and most other applications.
Advanced Top-Quality Video Transmission
Fiber optic cable has emerged as a logical solution for next-generation signal routing. The VelocityKVM
product family harnesses this capability and ensures long distance, error-free transmission with no frame
or bit dropping and complete immunity to interference. The result is
no degradation of the video or
peripheral signal whatsoever.
