Product Overview
Touring productions need a fiber expansion-link cable that survives repeated load-in and tear-down while carrying Event Master video across long distances that copper cannot serve. The Barco Rugged Expansion Link Fiber 100 meter on Reel, article number R9871285, is a 100-meter ruggedized fiber cable supplied on a reel for fast deployment and retrieval on a show floor. It carries expansion-link signals for Barco Event Master systems such as the E2, S3, and EC-210. This item is the cable element of the link and is combined with the matching optical modules and breakout adapters to form a complete signal path.
Product Description
This product is the ruggedized 100-meter fiber cable on a reel only. To form a working expansion link it requires the fiber TX/RX Module kit (R9004752) and an MTP-to-opticalCON adapter, ordered separately. The reel packaging speeds field handling and protects the fiber through repeated rental staging cycles, while the rugged jacket guards the termination against the crushing and pulling typical of live event environments. It is the right choice when crews already own the optical modules and adapters and need to add or replace a cable run.
Pair this cable with the 100m Expansion Link Fiber TX/RX Module and the 4-Port Rack Mount MTP to opticalCON Adapters. For a fully bundled solution, consider the 100M Rugged MPO24 Kit instead. Browse the full range of Barco fiber transport gear in the Barco collection.
