Argon Rugged Fiber Optic Extender
Long Distance DVI & USB for C4ISR Platforms
Argon offers a rugged fiber optic extender package for Command & Control applications where long distance runs of DVI and USB signals are required. Argon’s rugged Transmitter takes DVI and USB inputs from a local workstation, converts the signals, and transmits them over a fiber optic connection. On the downstream side, the rugged Receiver accepts the fiber optic input and reproduces the UBS and DVI signals with virtually no latency. Together, the extender set provides excellent two way communication. This allows a workstations keyboard, pointing device, and display to be located up to 400m away.
Argon’s Rugged Fiber Optic Extender product provides reliable, low-latency transmission and implements an effective solution for remote placement of operator displays and input devices.
