Description
The 6G-SDI Extender is a unique new solution from MuxLab for
extending SDI based cameras* or other SDI sources* up to 4K @
30Hz resolution with the added benefit of extending the High
Resolution signal up to 985ft (300m) via OM3 multimode fiber
(model 500732), up to 1300ft (400m) via OM4 multimode fiber
(model 500732), up to 33,000ft (10km) via singlemode fiber
(model 500732-SM10), up to 132,000ft (40km) via singlemode
fiber (model 500732-SM40), and up to 264,000ft (80km) via
singlemode fiber (model 500732-SM80).
The input source for the 6G-SDI Extender over FIBER is either
HD-SDI using four coax cables, 3G-SDI using two coax cables, or
6G-SDI using a single coax cable.
