A Fiberlink® Application Brief | The Benefits of Fiberlink® in Everyday Pro A/V

The writing’s on the video wall.

When it comes to any Pro A/V installation, Fiberlink® offers more

than phenomenal product features and performance...

it actually contributes to your bottom line!

When you need a product to perform a specific function, you review

a products’ capabilities and what those capabilities cost you and your

client. You factor in the cost of labor, cable, connectors and any other

hardware you may need.

But what about the intangibles? The day-to-day “gotcha’s” that

always seem to chew away at your bottom line?

The “We have a pretty bad signal over here. Do we have to run the

cables somewhere else?” The” Where’s that interference coming from?”

The “I think we are going to need another repeater!”

The “The client changed what? Do we have the bandwidth for that?”

The “I can’t figure this thing out! Where’s the manual?”

So, how does Fiberlink answer these common questions? Simple: It’s

doesn’t. With Fiberlink, these questions are never asked in the first

place. And, here’s why:

Cancel Interference:

Fiberlink moves your signal digitally using light, not electricity. Ground

loops, signal interference, drop-off – virtually any prohibitive charac-

teristic of copper-based cabling! – is eliminated with Fiberlink. You can

run your signal over high-voltage power lines, over other video, audio

and data cables, snake the cable through the tightest of openings,

bend the cable tighter... even run it through hazardous environments.

Best of all, you can do this with the

confidence that your signal you’ll receive is going to be just as clear,

just as definitive, just as pure as the signal you started with.

Continues...

Advantages of

Fiberlink®

Ground loops, crosstalk, EMI,

RF and other interference is

literally impossible with

Fiberlink®!

Fiberlink® requires no configu-

ration or technical expertise.

Plug it in and go, it works every

time!

With Fiberlink®, no scaling,

compression, pixel skewing

or other signal manipulation is

performed.

Tactical fiber optic cabling is

actually stronger – stronger! –

than copper cabling!

At about 8¢ per foot, and

dropping, fiber optic cabling

is nearly disposable!

Ruggedized fiber connectors

can take all the abuse of even

the most careless of crews!

Fiberlink® WDM’s offers in-

creased throughput: send the

signals from multiple units over

one fiber optic core!

Applying connectors and

making fiber optic cables in

the field is a snap! No glue.

No epoxies. No polishing.

No hassles.

Don’t repeat after me:

Repeaters? What’s a repeater? Fiberlink has products that go the

distance without costly and destructive repeaters. Products like the

7220 Series that send your VGA and Stereo Audio signals over a single

fiber for distances of more than 30 kilometers! Without a repeater,

without going back to baseband, without compression, without

scaling... without any signal manipulation at all. In fact, this series

offers you infinite signal distribution for drop-and-repeat, point-to-

point and point-to-multipoint topologies right out of the box. And

since it does this digitally without ever going back to baseband during

transmission, you get picture perfect performance at each and every

point along the way.

Or, how about the 7500 Series which can send your DVI signals, along

with stereo audio, over one fiber for distances of more than nine miles?

Yes, without compression, scaling or any other signal “trickery”.

Of course, you’re not limited to only VGA and DVI. Fiberlink offers the

industries largest selection of fiber optic transmission systems, so

you’re sure to find the ideal product for your project.

Less is certainly more:

Run less cable, not more: Take advantage of Fiberlink’s unrivaled band-

width and throughput capabilities.

You can send more, do more – make more! –when you distribute

multiple signals over a single fiber optic core. How about beautiful

high resolution video, pristine stereo audio and reliable two-way

ethernet, all over a single fiber optic core, with no compression, no

distortion, no configuration? A single cable drop, not costly multiple

home runs. Connect it, don’t configure it. No extra labor charges

need apply.

Don’t think you need the bandwidth today? Better think of tomorrow!

A client needs to add to their systems’ capabilities... they have more

sources they need to send to their lobby. But, the client just finished

painting a company mural on the west wall by a world renowned artist

and cutting into it isn’t an exciting proposition. Chances are, the

Fiberlink cables you ran last time will support the extra signals you

need to send today. Without any compression. Without any compro-

mise.

That’s the power of Fiberlink!

Plug in. Go home.

Some products are so complex to configure, they might as well have

shipped with a Rubic’s Cube. Fiberlink is designed and built for Pro A/V

professionals by Pro A/V professionals, so we understand that

installation hassles can make or break a projects profitability. That’s

why working with Fiberlink is as simple as connecting your inputs,

connecting your outputs and starting the show!

No overtime. No configuration. No complex manual that tells you

to “Do this if else where but not... “! Just plug in your Fiberlink

and go home.

Continues...

Advantages of

Fiberlink®

Fiber optic cable has unrivaled

bandwidth capabilities. The

cable installed today will

support the signals you need

to send tomorrow!

No conduit required for

installation: fiber moves light,

not electricity, eliminating the

potential for sparks!*

Fiber optic cable is stronger,

lighter, more durable, more

flexible and cheaper than the

copper-based alternatives.

At about 8¢ per foot, and

dropping, fiber optic cabling

is nearly disposable!

Ruggedized fiber connectors

can take all the abuse of even

the most careless of crews!

Back in the black:

The writing is certainly on the wall: Fiberlink offers more than out-of-

the-box performance. It offers integrators new ways to capitalize upon

projects, operate more efficiently and effectively, minimize installation

times and maximize their bottom lines.

And, your clients will love it, too!

That’s because Fiberlink simply works. Day after day.

Year after year. No tweaks. No adjustments. No worries.

And that makes you look good, too!

So, on your next project, consider the intangibles.

Better yet, eliminate them. With Fiberlink.

Truly. Purely. Amazing.

Cut. Crimp. Connect.

Fiberlink® Field Termination kits offer fiber optic cable assembly

in the field with no polishing, grinding, glues or epoxies.

If you can terminate a BNC connector, you can terminate a fiber

optic connector. That’s because it’s as easy as cut, crimp and

connect with the Fiberlink® Field Termination kit. Simply strip your

cable, crimp on your preferred connector and connect your gear.

It’s that simple.
