You've got a control room two floors down from the source, or a post-production suite at the far end of the building, and every copper cable you've tried starts dropping frames past 30 metres. Sound familiar?
The ATEN CE980 kills that problem in one run. It pushes True 4K video, USB 2.0 peripherals, RS-232 serial, and full embedded audio (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio) down a single fiber-optic link up to 300 metres. No signal degradation. No daisy-chained extenders. One cable, one clean link.
The DP/HDMI combo connector at both ends means you plug in whatever the console wants – no adapter rabbit hole. Selectable output on local and remote sides keeps your install tidy.
It's built for the environments where a dropped frame isn't just annoying: healthcare monitoring, post-production grading bays, manufacturing control rooms. If the signal has to travel far and stay perfect, this is the part that does it.
Box includes both local and remote units, SFP modules, DP and HDMI cables, mic/speaker cables, USB cable, mounting kits, foot pads, power adapters, port locks, and the manual. You unbox, you rack, you go live.
Given the spec and the install complexity, a quick call before you order saves a whole afternoon of guesswork. Ring us and we'll walk through your run length, connector needs, and where it slots into your existing KVM setup
