Enjoy all your high-definition movies and TV shows on any HDTV in your home without running thick, bulky cable across your floor or through your walls. The OWLink FO2800 carries high-definition video and stereo audio over a single, flexible cable that's about as thin and lightweight as fishing line. You can use this innovative system to watch a movie playing in your living room Blu-ray player on your bedroom TV, or to connect your television to components hidden away in a cabinet. It even carries remote commands, so you can control your components without the need for extra cables or remote repeater systems.
High-definition video and stereo audio through an ultra-thin cable
The FO2800's fiber optic cable can carry video, audio, and infrared (IR) remote commands up to 1000 feet with no interference or signal loss. And it's only around 1/16" in diameter. So unlike thick HDMI cable, it's easy to run along baseboards and around door frames. Plus, the cable's transparent, so it virtually disappears into your room. You can run it right up the middle of your wall and it's barely noticeable. You can also paint, spackle, or caulk over the cable for an even more inconspicuous look.
How it works
The FO2800 system features a separate transmitter and receiver. Just connect your Blu-ray player, HD satellite receiver, or high-def cable box to the transmitter with the included HDMI cable. Then, connect the receiver to your HDMI-equipped TV, and link the receiver to the transmitter with the included 30-meter fiber optic cable. The system also includes an IR sensor and emitter so you can control the source component with its regular remote. The receiver's compact design and pre-attached mounting tape let you fasten it to the back of your TV for a clean installation.
Expanding the system's capabilities
Out of the box, the FO2800 lets you connect one source to one TV. If you would like to connect additional components, simply add an HDMI switcher to the transmitter or use the HDMI switching capabilities of your home theater receiver.
