Barco EM FIBER CABLE/RUGGED/MPO24 Kit (100M) - R9008989

Product Overview

Carrying uncompressed video between an Event Master processor and remote screens across a venue exceeds what copper cabling can deliver, and ordinary patch fiber is not built for the rigging and traffic of a live event floor. The Barco EM Fiber Cable/Rugged/MPO24 Kit (100M), article number R9008989, packages a 100-meter ruggedized MPO24 fiber run with the transceivers and adapters needed to complete an expansion-link signal path. It serves Barco Event Master systems including the E2, S3, and EC-210, where processor-to-display distances outrun HDMI or DisplayPort limits. The cable ships on a reel for fast load-in and tear-down.

Product Description

This turnkey fiber transport kit includes the cable on a reel, two MTP-to-Neutrik (opticalCON-style) adapters with jumper cables, and two 100-meter expansion-link transceivers, providing a ready-to-run link between an Event Master processor frame and a remote endpoint. The ruggedized MPO24 jacket protects the 24-fiber termination against crushing, pulling, and abrasion through repeated rental staging cycles. The included MTP-to-opticalCON breakout adapters transition the rugged trunk to the standardized connectors used at the processor and at the screen-side electronics.

For longer cable runs, see the 300M version of this rugged MPO24 kit. If you only need the optical modules, the matching 100m Expansion Link Fiber TX/RX Module is available separately, and panel-mount integration is handled by the 4-Port Rack Mount MTP to opticalCON Adapters.

Key Features

• 100-meter rugged fiber run — Carries expansion-link video over a single 100m cable for medium processor-to-screen distances.
• MPO24 termination — Uses a 24-fiber MPO interface for high-density optical transport in one connector.
• Ruggedized jacket — Heavy-duty construction withstands repeated rental staging load-in and tear-down.
• Cable on reel — Reel packaging speeds deployment and retrieval on site.
• MTP-to-opticalCON adapters included — Two adapters with jumper cables transition the rugged trunk to standard connectors.
• Two transceivers included — Matched 100m optical modules complete the link at both ends.
• Event Master compatibility — Designed for Barco E2, S3, and EC-210 processing platforms.

Typical Applications

• Large-event and rental staging — Medium-distance fiber runs between an Event Master processor and stage positions.
• Arena and stadium video — Reaching displays positioned away from the control area.
• Corporate general sessions — Transporting processed content across ballrooms and convention halls.
• Broadcast and multi-camera productions — Routing high-bandwidth video where copper cannot reach.
