Introduction
As display technology evolves, the demand for ultra-high-resolution content is growing rapidly. While 4K is widespread, 8K has become the new standard for environments that require extreme detail and clarity. Traditional DisplayPort (DP) extension solutions—whether using copper cables, Cat6, or standard HDMI/DP extenders—face significant distance limitations:
- Standard HDMI/DP copper cables usually reach 10–20 meters at 4K@60Hz.
- High-end Cat6/HDBaseT extenders can reach 50–100 meters.
Beyond these distances, repeaters or signal amplifiers are required; otherwise, video may experience flickering, artifacts, or black screens. This increases system complexity and potential failure points.
The TESmart DKE30SS-M25 single-link DisplayPort fiber extender breaks these limitations. Using OM4 multimode fiber, it enables 300-meter 8K@60Hz (DSC) point-to-point transmission, providing an industry-leading solution for professional environments requiring long-distance, high-resolution video.
Technical Highlights
8K@60Hz (DSC) Support
- Delivers ultra-clear visuals with smooth motion and vibrant colors.
- Display Stream Compression (DSC) ensures lossless image quality over long-distance transmission.
- Ideal for medical imaging, broadcasting, and control center environments where precision and frame rate are critical.
OM4 Fiber Enables 300-Meter Transmission
- Point-to-point architecture guarantees stable long-distance performance.
- Avoids multiple repeaters, reducing latency and signal degradation.
- Supports high-resolution, long-distance applications while simplifying cabling and management.
Breakthroughs & Applications
Traditional Solution Limitations
- Copper or Cat6 extenders are limited in distance (standard copper: 10–20m, high-end Cat6/HDBaseT: 50–100m).
- Longer distances require repeaters, increasing cabling complexity and potential failure points.
- For large campuses, operating rooms, or exhibition halls, traditional solutions often cannot cover the full range in one link.
Value of 300-Meter Extension
- One-Time Remote Coverage: Transmit signals up to 300 meters without repeaters.
- High Resolution & Low Latency: Point-to-point connection ensures stable 8K@60Hz (DSC) with no loss of detail.
- Cost & Maintenance Reduction: Fewer repeaters and simplified cabling lower hardware investment and maintenance efforts.
Real-World Applications
- Large Campuses / Control Centers / Security Monitoring: Single-link transmission covers multiple buildings or an entire campus, providing a cleaner, more reliable setup than 100-meter extenders that require multiple repeaters.
- Remote Surgery / High-Precision Medical Imaging: Operating rooms or diagnostic centers receive 8K video directly from data centers, ensuring low latency and precise image clarity.
- Exhibition / Broadcasting / Large Event Venues: Distant screens can connect directly to the control system, delivering stable 8K content without multi-hop extenders that introduce latency or signal loss.
- Data Centers / Financial Trading Halls: A single fiber link covers multiple terminals, simplifying cabling and reducing operational costs.
Comparison with Traditional Solutions
| Solution | Max Distance | Resolution / Refresh Rate | Fiber Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper / Cat6 / HDMI/DP Extenders | 10–20 m (copper) 50–100 m (high-end Cat6/HDBaseT) |
4K@60Hz | None | Long distances require repeaters or amplifiers |
| DKE30SS-M25 | 300 m | 8K@60Hz (DSC) | OM4 Multimode Fiber | Point-to-point design ensures stable, long-distance transmission |
Key Advantages
- Supports 8K@60Hz (DSC) for exceptional clarity and smooth motion.
- OM4 fiber enables 300-meter point-to-point transmission, far exceeding copper, Cat6, and standard HDMI/DP extenders.
- Stable, low-latency performance ideal for professional environments.
- Simplifies cabling, reduces operational costs, and allows flexible future upgrades.
Conclusion
The TESmart DKE30SS-M25 DisplayPort Fiber Extender redefines long-distance, high-resolution video transmission. With OM4 multimode fiber and 8K@60Hz (DSC), it delivers 300 meters of stable, single-link transmission for control centers, medical imaging, broadcasting, exhibitions, and more. Breaking the limits of traditional DP extenders, ultra-high-definition video can now reach unprecedented distances without compromise.
FAQ
Q1: Can DKE30SS-M25 support multiple displays?
No, it is designed for single-link point-to-point transmission. For multi-display setups, multiple extenders are recommended.
Q2: What type of cable is required?
The DKE30SS-M25 only supports OM4 multimode fiber. Other cable types cannot be used with this product.
Q3: Does it support keyboard and mouse extension?
Yes, the product supports a single set of keyboard and mouse extension, allowing the RX unit to control the TX computer easily.
Q4: Is there any latency for audio, video, or keyboard/mouse signals?
There is almost no latency. Audio, video, and keyboard/mouse signals experience less than 1ms delay, ensuring real-time operation.
