Sonnex® Link over Fiber Extender
This product has been discontinued. Please contact Crestron True Blue Support at 1-888-CRESTRON for a replacement solution or more information.
Extends the Sonnex® Link and provides electrical isolation for long-distance and/or outdoor wire runs.
The Crestron® S-EXT1-S is an optional accessory for the Sonnex® Multiroom Audio System (SWAMP-24X8). It provides a solution for extending the Sonnex Link up to 2000 ft (610 m) over one multimode fiber strand[1]. It is ideal for any application that requires running the Sonnex Link between a main house and guest house, pool house, or other outbuilding, providing high-performance signal extension, plus optical isolation against lightning surges and other electrical disturbances.
The S-EXT1-S is composed of one transmitter and one receiver (S-TX1-S and S-RX1-S, both included). Each component can be mounted discretely in the back of an equipment rack or to any suitable flat surface. Linking the two components requires just one run of Crestron CresFiber® 8G fiber optic cable[1]. Crestron offers a full line of rugged CresFiber cables and installation tools for a complete solution.
