A fiber optical transmitter uses fiber optic technology to efficiently send data, audio, and video signals to the necessary receiver. Fiber optics uses light signals to transmit data at high rates over long distances with minimal signal skew. Using fiber optics transmitters lets you avoid the problems associated with standard copper cabling. You don't have to worry about ground loops or electromagnetic interference when using a fiber optic transmitter receiver, which uses light, not electricity, to send its signal.

A fiber optics transmitter can be used to send a variety of data signals. Find a number of options available when searching for the right fiber optic transmitters supplier:

1. Shop with a fiber optic transmitters manufacturer offering a number of custom built models.
2. Send video signals with a fiber optic video transmitter.
3. Get exactly what you need from a custom fiber optic transmitter manufacturer.

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Browse online catalogs of multiple fiber optic transmitter products

Fiber optics transmitters can come in a variety of styles and capabilities. If you're not sure which product is right for your business, make your search easier by looking through the online catalog of a fiber optic transmitters manufacturer that showcases the technical specifications of a number of products.

I recommend: Communications Specialties offers a plethora of fiber optic transmitters. Find a number of fully digital transmitters that have dozens of outputs for audio, video and data. Fiber optics transmitter modules from Optocom offer both high performance and the ability to transmit signals in extreme temperatures. Browse their listing of transmitters to find a variety of industrial rated models.

Buy a fiber optic video transmitter

As technology continues to advance, data streams that used to be difficult to send cleanly have become commonplace. Video signals require the instantaneous transmission of large amounts of data. Look for a fiber optic video transmitter to take advantage of a proven means of sending crisp, clear video signals with minimal signal skew.

I recommend: Opticomm sells a number of fiber optic video transmitters that can be configured to your specific needs. Also find a variety of components and accessories to help you install a successful fiber optic network for your business. MultiDyne sells a wide variety of fiber optic video equipment. Choose from transmitters with up to dozens of video and audio output channels.

Help design the fiber optics transmitter you need with help from a custom manufacturer

If you can't find a standard product that fits your business needs, turn to a manufacturer of custom fiber optic transmitters.

I recommend: MITEQ produces a number of standard fiber optic transmitters, but if you can't find a product that does exactly what you want, contact them to change the transmitter specifications to meet your requirements. Ross Engineering Corporation produces high quality fiber optic products, and specifies the capabilities of custom manufactured fiber optics transmitters on their website.
