Fiber Optic SDI Extender Set - Up to 6.2 miles (10Km)

KanexPro Fiber Optic SDI Extender Set is engineered to carry 3G-SDI and HD-SDI signals over a single-mode fiber link with astonishing reliability, extending reach up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). Built for demanding environments, this compact, rugged solution uses a pluggable SFP design with LC connectors to give you flexible, future-ready fiber options while preserving pristine video and audio quality.

Why this fiber optic SDI extender stands out

• Long-haul SDI over fiber — Extend SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI signals across campus networks, campuses, stadiums, or government facilities without signal degradation.
• Integrated quality maintenance — Built-in signal equalizer and re-clock ensure clean video and reliable transmission even when fiber links are long or challenging.
• Automatic format sensing — No guesswork: the unit auto-detects 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI formats for seamless operation across multiple resolutions and frame rates.
• Interchangeable SFP with LC fiber — Flexible, future-proof design lets you swap SFP modules to adapt to different fiber types and distances, using a simple LC single-mode connection.
• HD video & multi-channel audio — Supports HD up to 1080p60 and SD formats, plus up to 8 channels of audio at 24-bit/48 kHz, so you don’t trade fidelity for distance.
• Robust physical design — Compact SECC housing with locking power supply and mounting ears for secure, vibration-resistant deployment in control rooms, cabinets, or field setups.
• Simple maintenance & updates — Mini-USB port enables firmware updates to keep performance aligned with evolving SDI standards.

Ideal use cases

Designed for environments where security, reliability, and image quality matter most, this extender is well suited for:

• Government and command-and-control systems requiring long-distance, interference-free video delivery
• Digital signage networks and video walls that span large venues or campuses
• Broadcast, production, and surveillance installations needing secure, long-haul SDI transport without signal downtime

Key specifications

What you gain with this extender

With a low-latency, high-bandwidth fiber link and a plug-and-play SFP design, you can deploy long-haul SDI networks quickly while preserving the integrity of video and multi-channel audio. The combination of auto-sensing SDI formats, built-in equalization, and a re-clock function minimizes downtime and reduces field troubleshooting. The result is a reliable backbone for live events, security monitoring, or large-format digital displays where every frame matters.

Setup at a glance

1. Install the interchangeable SFP modules with your chosen LC single-mode fiber link.
2. Connect the SDI output to your display or recorder via the BNC connector.
3. Power the unit with the locking power supply and secure the housing with mounting ears.
4. Update firmware via the Mini-USB port if needed, using the latest release to ensure compatibility with recent SDI formats.
5. Power up and verify video and audio are transmitted cleanly across the 10 km link.

For installations where long-distance, secure, high-resolution digital video matters, the KanexPro Fiber Optic SDI Extender Set delivers dependable performance with a thoughtful design that adapts to your fiber infrastructure today and tomorrow.
