Why Fiber Optic?

SmartAVI has created a full line of fiber optic extender products, understanding that this technology is superior to traditional cabling.

Fiber optic cables are:

• capable of transmitting over very long distances with no signal loss.
- immune to electromagnetic interference. In situations where there is considerable interference, fiber optic cabling is the only solution.
- much more secure because they cannot be easily tapped. For this reason, military and law enforcement agencies use fiber optic cables for the transmission of sensitive data.
• relatively inexpensive and small enough to be routed through small spaces.
