Fiber optic cables have been a big part of the information age. When it comes to high-speed Internet and high-definition TV in homes, all of the latest advances in Internet speed and HD video start with the fiber optic cables laid by communications companies over the last couple decades. The reason these large corporations invested in this technology is because of how reliable, secure and quick it is. And considering how many users are involved, having a stable and efficient information infrastructure is obviously important. So if the communication companies are operating on what can be called a “macro” level, linking together customers across great distances, could fiber optic cabling be important and useful on a more “micro” level? For hospitals, academic institutions, or businesses, KVM and signal routing throughout their operation is also vital. For some such venues – the aforementioned medical campus or perhaps a government or defense outfit – maintaining an ultra-secure means of communication and signal routing is key. It’s so crucial that typical signal routing solutions, such as Cat5e/6 cables, just won’t cut it. The information being moved is too sensitive to be compromised. And that’s where fiber optic cables come in. There are several key benefits to this upgrade. First and foremost, fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference, allowing them to provide secure transmission and routing. Second, fiber optic cables eliminate the need for bulky cabling and additional equipment to boost video signal, both of which are helpful for routing through small areas. Third, fiber optic extensions offer long-distance routing solutions. That level of security is important for national security in defense applications. In medical and academic venues, that’s important for privacy and confidentiality. Businesses are looking for similar protections, whether that’s to ward off hackers, corporate espionage, or other breaches of security. And with long distance needs, fiber optics allow large government, medical, academic and corporate campuses to install a stellar communications system that handles all of their criteria. Fiber optic cables also deliver uncompressed signals for when every pixel truly matters. Think about a doctor examining an MRI read out, or security professional trying to identify a criminal caught briefly on camera; these are just two common examples when maintaining pristine visual clarity through uncompressed signal routing is essential. In all of these mission-critical applications, the use of a fiber optic matrix is the way to go. A matrix signal router provides the ultimate in flexibility for KVM functionality and the routing of uncompressed HD signals. To find a reliable and secure fiber optics matrix, consumers and system architects need look no further than the premier manufacturer of professional AV technology, SmartAVI. The California-based company released the new FXCORE-MX88 Fiber Optic Matrix this week. With a configuration of 8x8 (eight inputs and eight outputs), the FXCORE-MX88 gives users the flexibility they need. The matrix is manufactured in the USA, just like all of the products from SmartAVI. With diverse clientele that starts with NASA, DreamWorks Studios, Monte Carlo Resort and Casino and continues on from there, it’s clear that industry professionals across the globe depend on SmartAVI as the go-to solutions provider for any professional audio-video system.
