HDMI Over Fiber Optic Extender SC with Loop Out Singlemode up 20Km Multimode up 500M A Pair

Good quality, great range, clear video:This product is physically well made and well suited for frequent use and transportation. The product's range is extremely impressive and ideal for guest homes or similar where it's annoying or difficult to wire it up. So far, while I haven't tested it out at its full stated range it works fine at a distance of a couple miles with no problems detected. The product's video output is smooth and clear, with no color distortion or lagging issues that I could notice.Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend.

The extender transmits high-definition HDMI signals up to 20Km (singlemode) or 500M (multimode) with minimal latency and no signal loss. Its sturdy build and easy setup make it great for professional AV use, though the lack of KVM and loop-out may limit functionality for some users.

At the time of this review, the cost for this extender is $148. This HDMI extender works well and I like that it uses fiber and not Ethernet like so many other models do. However, at $148 I find this to be a bit pricey especially since it's top bandwidth goes up to 1080p at 60 Hz and not something higher like 4k or 120Hz.The fact that this can go over 12 miles is really impressive, though. I'm not sure who would need to take advantage of that, but definitely impressive.4 out of 5 stars.

Works well on a 2000 (+/-) foot span and pretty amazingly lag free

This HDMI fiber optic extender provides a highly effective solution for transmitting 4K ultra HD HDMI signals over long distances, making it ideal for professional AV environments. With support for singlemode fiber up to 20km and multimode fiber up to 500m, it delivers exceptional range while maintaining stable signal integrity and minimal latency. This makes it a top choice for applications in large venues or corporate setups. However, the requirement for SC fiber optic cables may present a challenge for users accustomed to more standard HDMI setups. Designed with ease of use in mind, the extender includes a transmitter and receiver pair that offers plug-and-play functionality. Its SC fiber connectors ensure secure connections, and EDID management enhances compatibility with a variety of HDMI devices. While compact and straightforward to integrate, the setup process may require a learning curve for users unfamiliar with fiber optic systems. Additionally, the reliance on high-quality fiber optic cables adds to the overall installation cost, which may deter casual users or smaller projects. Despite the higher upfront cost compared to traditional HDMI extenders, the HDMI over fiber optic extender excels in reliability and long-term performance, making it a worthwhile investment for professionals. Its ability to handle large-scale installations with no signal degradation and support for diverse transmission distances makes it a versatile and durable option. However, potential buyers should be prepared for the added expense of fiber optic cables and the complexity of the setup, especially for those new to fiber optic technology.

I've used quite a few HDMI extenders. The vast majority (if not all) of the wireless ones have at least some perceptible lag, sometimes quite pronounced. They work well for movies, because the lag occurs on the audio and video stream simultaneously, and so it becomes imperceptible for the purpose of watching a film. However, for computers, when you're trying to use a mouse to coordinate with the screen, and especially when gaming, the lag can be annoying at best, and can make it unusable at worst.There are 2 extenders which work lag-free, and that's CAT5/6 (network cable-based) extenders, and fiber optic extenders, which this is. Each one has its plusses and minuses, but the long and short of it is, if the run is shorter (less than 500m), network cable extenders work fine, but if the run is longer, fiber optic is the way to go.There are some other instances where fiber optic is preferred, however. For instance, when cross-talk interference (or some other kind) is causing issues with your network cable signal, or when the run has to be through a conduit, often fiber optic cable is easier to run in conduit than network cable.This works fantastically well, though to be honest I'll NEVER push it to the limit of its range. So if you were to ask me, will it really do 20km, I have no idea, lol. I know the technology says yes, so everything being equal, I'd have to say "most probably, yes." The issue for me is lag, and there is none, not that I could measure without the use of an oscilloscope or something.If you need to push an HDMI signal beyond the normal limits, this right here is your baby. It's 5 stars all the way.

I just finished my security system for my house and wanted to have a dedicated TV downstairs to have a 24/7 stream of the NVR footage. My NVR is placed upstairs due to some cable constraints, and there was no option to run an HDMI cable. It was really easy to use this device. I plugged in both the HDMI and fiber cables, and in seconds, I was able to replicate the NVR footage downstairs. The picture quality is good; it is basically an exact copy of the upstairs TV connected to the NVR. Now I can easily monitor everything when I am downstairs. No mess with huge HDMI cables throughout the house!

This device is easy to use. Very easy to operate, just Plug and play. It is compact size, with good heat dissipation.(1) Just connect HDMI source device, such as PC, game console, Blu-ray player, media player, to the Transmitter.(2) Then use fiber optic to connect the transmitter to Receiver,(3) then connect HD TV from a long distance place to the Receiver.It supports resolution 1920x1080P @ 60Hz max.
