Panasonic Professional Audio-Visual SMPTE Fiber Cable 500ft

Experience a simpler way to connect devices with Panasonic Professional Audio-Visual. This SMPTE fiber cable delivers a streamlined solution for linking equipment across an entire business network. Designed for professional AV deployments, it combines the speed and reliability of fiber optics with the durability required for live events, broadcasting environments, and busy control rooms. Whether you’re wiring a conference center, a recording studio, a corporate auditorium, or a multi-room installation, this 500-foot fiber optic cable helps you maintain pristine signal quality while reducing complexity and downtime.

• Unmatched signal integrity and reliability. This fiber optic cable is engineered for professional environments where performance matters most. By transmitting light instead of electrical signals, it dramatically reduces susceptibility to EMI and RFI that can degrade audio and video feeds. The result is cleaner, more consistent performance even in venues crowded with electrical gear, near high-power equipment, or in locations with dense wireless activity. Operators will notice fewer dropouts, fewer glitches, and smoother multi-channel transmissions across the network, helping you deliver media with confidence.
• Long reach without compromise. With a generous 500-foot length, you gain flexible routing options for large venues, studios, or multi-room installations. The extended reach minimizes the need for repeaters or signal boosters, reducing points of failure and simplifying cable management. This is ideal for corporate lobbies, auditorium stages, training centers, and broadcast suites where equipment may be distant from the core network or source devices. The cable maintains high bandwidth and low latency over distance, ensuring synchronized audio-visual streams without the need to compromise on quality.
• SMPTE-standard compatibility. Built to SMPTE specifications, this cable ensures seamless interoperability with broadcast-grade gear. It works harmoniously with routers, switches, media servers, video processors, and display devices that rely on robust, high-bandwidth fiber connections. By aligning with industry standards, it simplifies procurement, reduces integration challenges, and enhances future-proofing for evolving AV ecosystems in education, entertainment, and enterprise environments.
• Plug-and-play convenience. Designed for quick and straightforward deployment, this fiber cable complements common network devices and AV equipment. Its rugged connectors and straightforward interface minimize setup time in control rooms, event venues, production studios, and IT hubs. Whether you’re performing routine maintenance or rolling out a new installation, you can trust this cable to deliver reliable connections with minimal fuss, so your team can focus on content and performance rather than configuration.
• Durable, professional-grade construction. The 500-foot fiber assembly features a rugged jacket and dependable connectors built to withstand the rigors of live events, daily studio use, and demanding corporate deployments. The cable is engineered to endure bending, handling, and long-term use in environments where dependable performance and longevity matter most. With a professional build and protective shielding, it’s designed to stay in service season after season, delivering consistent results even under challenging operating conditions.
