Barco Throwdown MTP to Opticalcon adapter - R9871289

Product Overview

The Barco Throwdown MTP to opticalCON adapter (R9871289) converts the rugged Event Master expansion link to an MTP 24 fiber interface. It allows the high-bandwidth link between Event Master processors and expansion boxes to terminate into standard MTP fiber infrastructure. The adapter ships with a jumper for the conversion. It is part of Barco's Event Master fiber transport accessory line.

Product Description

This throwdown adapter, pictured above, bridges Barco's ruggedized expansion-link connector and an MTP 24 fiber assembly, making it possible to route Event Master signal transport over conventional MTP cabling plant. It is intended for E2 and S3 Event Master deployments where the processor's expansion link must connect to permanent or pre-run fiber rather than a point-to-point rugged cable. The included jumper completes the optical path between the connector formats.

For direct point-to-point runs, this adapter complements the Barco Expansion Link Cable used between Event Master units. Browse the full Barco collection for Event Master processors, shipping cases and additional fiber transport hardware.
