AVIT Vision brings to Spain the fiber optic solutions of the North American Cleerline Technology

Cleerline Technology is known for fiber optic solutions that are more durable, reliable and easier to terminate than any twisted pair cable solution currently available.

AVIT Vision has expanded its offer of professional solutions with fiber optic solutions from the North American firm Cleerline Technology Group.

Cleerline has revolutionized fiber optic connectivity with its cables Cleerline SSF by offering a solution to the fact that copper cables have reached the limit of their capacity to carry the bandwidth required by current video signals 4K60 4:4:4 HDR.

Cleerline SSF fiber optics have been developed so that they can be installed, managed and terminated just as easily, if not more so, than CAT twisted pair cable. Furthermore, thanks to its patented proprietary technology, it has managed to eliminate the traditional drawbacks of conventional optical fiber such as tensile strength, limited bending angle, difficulty in termination, need for specialized personnel and special tools, etc.

The AV system integration industry is beginning to realize the benefits of using fiber optics instead of CATx twisted pair cable for some moderately long distances between signal sources and displays. Cleerline SSF products solve the traditional problems associated with fiber installation. Its use and termination does not require any training or certification and it is the safest and most durable fiber on the market.

Cleerline's main commitment to fiber is because it is more durable, easier to work with and more reliable, while providing an infrastructure capable of functioning today and during the new generations of technologies that will come in the future. It is only necessary to do a simple calculation to realize that CATx cable does not support the latest requirements for distributing uncompressed Ultra High Definition video content. The current HDMI specification requires 18.2 Gbps of bandwidth and a perfectly installed CAT6A cable is limited to 10 Gbps. In order for a system integrator to meet the requirement of uncompressed 18 Gbps video distribution in current installations, it is necessary to use fiber in some of its variations.

La fibra Cleerline SSF es más duradera y más fácil de terminar que cualquier solución CATx disponible actualmente. Ofrece un radio de curva mínimo de 2,2 mm y una capacidad de resistencia al estiramiento momentáneo de 102 Kg. Un cable CATx, en comparación, tiene un radio de curva mínimo de 85-95 mm. y una resistencia al estiramiento de entre 11,3 y 16,8 kilos. Además de esto la fibra Cleerline SSF se puede terminar en menos de un minuto.

Robert D’Addario, presidente y director general de Cleerline Technology Group, afirma que “nosotros no abogamos por la total sustitución de los cables CATx debido a la gran cantidad de equipos y soluciones en el mercado que trabajan hoy en día con ellos, y que continuarán haciéndolo perfectamente en el futuro. Sin embargo, igual que los integradores de sistemas dejaron de utilizar el cableado para vídeo en componentes hace ya entre 6 y 8 años, nosotros pensamos que se va a producir la misma migración hacia la fibra”.

La gama de soluciones de fibra de Cleerline SSF incluye cableado de fibra óptica, conectores, Kit de terminación y kit de testeo. Todos estos productos se encuentran ya integrados en el catálogo de soluciones de AVIT Vision.
