Metra Home Theater Group (MHTG) today announced the release of a new Fiber HDMI Extender that supports 4K/HDR that will debut during CES 2020. The product allows integrators to extend an HDMI signal up to 300 meters (984 feet) over a single strand of multi-mode OM3 fiber optic cable with LC connectors while still maintaining 4K/HDR resolution at 18Gbps bandwidth.

The device complements the new bulk fiber and fiber termination tools that MHTG unveiled at CEDIA Expo 2019, allowing integrators to take 4K/HDR even farther.

The HDMI Extender Over Fiber (CS-HDFBREXT-VLC) supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 with resolutions up to 4K@60Hz HDR. The extender is capable of sending control signal with its RS-232 pass-through connectivity, supports bi-directional IR, and includes an IR emitter and receiver. In addition, mounting tabs are included in the packaging with the device to provide additional flexibility for placement during installation.

Metra will be displaying the new product during CES 2020 from January 7-10 at booth #11435 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
