Match the right cable to the job — and see why fiber wins at distance.
8K home cinema and gaming setups where sources sit far from the screen. Fiber stays thin, bendable and interference-free behind walls.
Boardrooms and lecture halls where the projector or display is 20–80m from the PC or matrix. No repeaters, no signal drop.
Retail, transit and airport displays fed over long distances from a central media player — reliable 24/7.
Server interconnect and video walls needing high bandwidth over distance with zero loss.
Camera-to-switcher and control-room links where long, lightweight, EMI-immune cabling matters.
USB3 / Camera Link over distance for inspection and automation lines.
