40Gbps 8K Fiber Optic Extender Kit
AVPro Edge continues to bolster its portfolio of world-first 8K products with the addition of the new AC-EXO-KIT, an HDMI 2.1 extender utilizing multi-mode fiber to transport 8K signals as far away from the transmitter as 300 meters over OM4, all at the speed of light. NextGen 8K signals heavily tax traditional HDMI copper-based cables in a direct-connection environment, limiting lengths to approximately 4 meters and ruling out category wire completely for any possibility of developing an HDMI TX / RX extension kit in the traditional configurations we know them as. AVPro Edge engineers pursued the only path capable of delivering the results required: Multi-mode fiber optic cabling. OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode versions may all be used; however, distance capabilities will vary significantly. OM2 enables a 40Gbps, 8K/60Hz 4:2:0 signal with a transfer distance of up to 40 meters. OM3 grants this same signal a transfer distance of up to 200 meters. The distance champion for this signal is
