Video Description

Today I'm taking a look at a product which might finally make my dreams of a server-room workstation a reality. These guys are HDMI over Fiber adapters, but unlike others on the market, they use detachable MPO (standard network fiber) connectors and standard 8-strand OM3 fiber. This fiber is not that expensive, the fiber itself can be replaced, pulled through walls ahead of time, has no directionality (unlike HDMI active optical cables), can run through fiber jacks and patch panels, and the list of advantages just goes on and on. But anyway, does this thing work? I test it and find out. Detachable (MPO) Fiber Cable (5% off with my link): https://ruipro.store/apalrd'sadventures or from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3RwZRUR It's available in armored and non-armored, you should seriously consider armoring if this is your first time working with fiber If you want to learn more about how HDMI-over-Fiber works in general (not this specific product), The Signal Path has a fantastic and highly technical video you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9QPecpLcnA Support me on Ko-Fi if you enjoy my content and find it useful: https://ko-fi.com/apalrd Feel free to chat about my upcoming projects on Discord! https://discord.gg/xJsaEukAr4 Follow me on Mastodon: https://hachyderm.io/@apalrd Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 02:02 - Unboxing 04:17 - Latency 06:43 - High Refresh Rate 08:57 - Thoughts
