Nicolas Kyvernitis Electronics Enterprises, distributors for Neutrik across the GCC have recently supplied Dubai based rental company Artes with OpticalCON drums for their video department's requirements. Used for DVI to Fiber extenders, Artes can now reliably send over portable and rugged fiber video signals required over long distances for their various corporate shows and concerts in the United Arab Emirates.

The OpticalCON fiber reels are available in different lengths with varying levels of channels and protection. Artes' order included 300m of X-TREME multimode fiber on drums terminated with Neutrik's unique connectors which are dust and water resistant according to IP65. The X-TREME cable offers cut-proof and rodent resistant double jacket glass yarn armored cable construction providing the best solution for rental companies that are constantly in and out of venues.

"The feedback from Artes has been extremely positive, they have ordered another 100m since their initial purchase," commented Pavel Aheunin, Neutrik Sales Specialist. He adds, "whether the application is audio, lighting or video - transporting signal over fiber is becoming more and more possible in the live market due to Neutrik's OpticalCON range which can both protect and provide consistent results."
