Why Fiber Optic?
SmartAVI has created a full line of ber 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, ber optic cabling is the
only solution.
• much more secure because they cannot be easily tapped. For
this reason, military and law enforcement agencies use ber
optic cables for the transmission of sensitive data.
• relatively inexpensive and small enough to be routed through
small spaces.
