The 1045 Communications Specialties 16x16 Fiberlink Matrix, model OM16, is part of the fully configurable and SMPTE-compliant Fiberlink Matrix family which has the ability to configure the number of inputs and outputs in any fashion up to 16x16 for model OM16 and up to 32x32 for model OM32.

"The ability to order inputs and outputs on a singular basis is a very important feature of the Fiberlink Matrix," says Paul Seiden, director of sales. "Now a customer can purchase an optical matrix with the exact number of inputs and outputs they require giving them the ability to precisely meet their technical and budgetary needs. If a system integrator or a/v engineer has seven input signals that they need to route to 14 destinations, they can purchase a 7x14 Fiberlink Matrix. Traditionally, they would require a full 16x16 matrix for this application, purchasing more hardware than they require." Fiberlink Matrix is fully compliant with the extensive line of Fiberlink products for VGA, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, composite, component and S-video, gigabit Ethernet and much more. Fully SMPTE 297-2006 compliant for data rates up to 3 Gbps, it works with both single-mode and multimode fibre without the need for separate interface cards.
