Barco EM FIBER CABLE/RUGGED/MPO24 Kit (300M) - R9009010

Product Overview

Moving uncompressed video between an Event Master processor and remote displays across a large venue is a job copper cannot handle, and standard patch fiber rarely survives the rigging and foot traffic of a live show floor. The Barco EM Fiber Cable/Rugged/MPO24 Kit (300M), article number R9009010, packages a 300-meter ruggedized MPO24 fiber run with the transceivers and adapters needed to carry expansion-link signals end to end. It is built for Barco Event Master systems such as the E2, S3, and EC-210, where processor-to-screen distances exceed what HDMI or DisplayPort cabling can reach. The kit ships ready to deploy on a reel for fast load-in and tear-down.

Product Description

This complete fiber transport kit includes the cable on a reel, two MTP-to-Neutrik (opticalCON-style) adapters with jumper cables, and two 300-meter expansion-link transceivers, giving you a turnkey link between an Event Master processor frame and a remote endpoint. The ruggedized MPO24 jacket is engineered for repeated rental staging cycles, protecting the 24-fiber MPO termination against crushing, pulling, and the abrasion typical of arena and stadium deployments. The included MTP-to-opticalCON breakout adapters let crews transition from the rugged trunk to the standardized connectors used at the processor and at the screen-side electronics.

For shorter cable runs, see the 100M version of this rugged MPO24 kit. If you only need the optical modules, the matching 300m 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

• 300-meter rugged fiber run — Carries expansion-link video over a single 300m cable for long processor-to-screen distances.
• MPO24 termination — Uses a 24-fiber MPO interface for high-density optical transport in a single connector.
• Ruggedized jacket — Heavy-duty construction stands up to repeated rental staging load-in and tear-down cycles.
• Cable on reel — Reel packaging speeds deployment and retrieval and reduces tangling on site.
• MTP-to-opticalCON adapters included — Two adapters with jumper cables transition the rugged trunk to standardized connectors.
• Two transceivers included — Matched 300m 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 — Long fiber runs between an Event Master processor and stage or screen positions.
• Arena and stadium video — Reaching scoreboards and ribbon displays far from the control position.
• Corporate general sessions — Transporting processed content across large ballrooms and convention halls.
• Broadcast and multi-camera productions — Routing high-bandwidth video over distances copper cannot support.
