8 Channel 3G-SDI Fiber Extender with 10G Ethernet 20km Transmission

Model: LNK-3G8V10GE

 Product Description & Overview

The 8Ch 3G-SDI + 1Ch 10G Ethernet over Fiber Extender represents a high-performance hybrid

transmission solution for demanding broadcast and IP-based video applications. This advanced

fiber optic system integrates eight channels of 3G-SDI high-definition video with a 10G Ethernet

IP channel through single-mode optical fiber infrastructure. The extender delivers exceptional

optical performance with real-time HD video processing capabilities, maintaining broadcast-quality

standards while providing robust network connectivity for modern IP-based systems.

Engineered for superior signal integrity, this hybrid extender utilizes advanced fiber optic technology

to ensure complete immunity to electromagnetic interference, ground loops, and RF noise. The 10G

Ethernet interface provides substantial bandwidth for IP video streaming, device control, and data

communication, significantly enhancing system scalability and compatibility with contemporary

network infrastructure. This combination of SDI and Ethernet technologies creates a future-proof

solution that bridges traditional broadcast equipment with modern IP networks.

The system supports flexible transmission distances up to 20 kilometers, with optional configurations

extending to 40km, 60km, and 80km ranges to accommodate various installation requirements. This

extended reach capability makes the solution ideal for large-scale deployments including campus-wide

surveillance systems, sports venue broadcasting, and distributed production facilities. The fiber optic

transmission ensures signal security and reliability far beyond conventional coaxial cable systems,

eliminating signal degradation and interference issues common in copper-based installations.

This high-capacity extender finds optimal application in broadcast centers, live event production, high-

definition surveillance networks, and large-scale AV distribution systems where simultaneous transmission

of multiple video feeds and high-speed data is essential. By consolidating multiple signal types through

single fiber connections, the system significantly reduces infrastructure complexity while providing superior

performance and reliability, establishing new benchmarks for hybrid video and data transmission in

professional applications.
