Applications
MEDICAL FIELD
Inthemedicaleldwheresensitiveelectronicdevicesareused,isolating
workstation computers can be a matter of safety. The FDX-M4U allows
the workstation computers to be housed in a central location, away
from sensitive devices.
INDUSTRIAL WORK AREAS
In industrial work areas that may be too harsh for a workstation
computer, the FDX-M4U can consolidate the computers into a safe
location.
SECURE COMPUTING
When it comes to security, the FDX-M4U is an excellent deployment
option. With the FDX-M4U, devices can be centralized and secured
from public access. This, combined with the intrinsic security of ber
optic cable, make the FDX-M4U one of the most secure KVM solutions
available.
INFORMATION KIOSKS/DISPLAYS
As with most information booths and kiosks, there is a risk of damage
or theft. The FDX-M4U is the best way to secure computer hardware,
by consolidating it to a secure location away from public access.
FILM/MUSIC RECORDING STUDIOS
When recording with sensitive cameras and microphones, computers
are often too noisy to be used in the immediate vicinity. The FDX-M4U
isolates the computers into another room, maintaining the silence that
recording artists require.

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.
