Product Information
Full details
The Lindy 300m Fibre Optic HDMI 4K30 Extender is designed for professionals who need to transmit high-definition video and audio over long distances reliably. Its key benefit is extending 4K UHD signals up to 300 meters using a single fibre optic cable, offering superior signal integrity and immunity to interference. A potential caveat is the need for compatible OM3 LC duplex multimode fibre optic cable, which is not included. This system comprises a transmitter and receiver, ideal for large-scale AV installations, commercial spaces, and industrial environments where signal quality and distance are paramount.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of fibre optic cable is required?
The Lindy 300m Fibre Optic HDMI 4K30 Extender requires a single OM3 LC duplex multimode fibre optic cable (50/125µm).
Does this extender support 4K at 60Hz?
No, this model supports resolutions up to 4K UHD@30Hz (4:2:0 8bit). For 4K@60Hz, a different extender model would be necessary.
Is the fibre optic cable included with the extender?
No, the fibre optic cable is not included and must be purchased separately. Ensure it is an OM3 LC duplex multimode type.
Can I use a single-mode fibre optic cable with this extender?
No, this extender is designed specifically for use with OM3 LC duplex multimode fibre optic cable. Using a single-mode cable will not work.
What is the maximum distance this extender can reach?
The maximum transfer distance for this extender is 300 meters.
Does the extender support HDR (High Dynamic Range) content?
Due to the limitation of 4K@30Hz (4:2:0 8bit), this extender is not suitable for HDR content, which typically requires higher frame rates and colour depths.
How do I power the transmitter and receiver units?
Both units are powered via USB. They come with USB cables, and you will need to connect them to a USB power source (e.g., USB power adapter, computer USB port).
What is the warranty period for this product?
This product comes with a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal on the display.
Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected at both ends. Verify that the USB power cables are connected and both units are powered on. Check that the correct type of OM3 LC duplex multimode fibre optic cable is used and securely connected between the transmitter and receiver. Confirm the source device and display are powered on and set to the correct input/output.
Flickering video or intermittent signal loss.
Check the connections of the HDMI and fibre optic cables for any looseness or damage. Ensure the fibre optic cable is not sharply bent or kinked. Try using a different USB power source for the units. Verify that the resolution and refresh rate are supported by both the source and display, and are within the extender's capabilities (e.g., 4K@30Hz).
Poor video quality or artifacts.
Ensure the source resolution does not exceed the extender's supported maximum (3840x2160@30Hz 4:2:0 8bit). Check for any potential interference sources, although the fibre optic cable is generally immune. Test with a known good HDMI cable and a different source device to isolate the issue.
Units not powering on.
Confirm that the USB power cables are correctly connected to both the units and the power source. Try using a different USB port or power adapter, as some USB ports may not provide sufficient power. Ensure the power source itself is functional.
