The use of fiber optics in the broadcast industry began in the mid-1980s but increased exponentially in the 1990s with the advent of digital video. The growing use of HDTV cameras created the need to transport signals with a higher bit rate over long distances. Fiber optics offers not only greater bandwidth over longer distances but also a better signal to noise ratio, greater immunity to interference and reduced size and weight.

Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) offers the most complete suite of fiber optic solutions for the broadcast market available anywhere. Our broadcast products have been used in Final Four®, Super Bowl®, World Cup® and Olympic® events. We specialize in harsh environment fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies, so you can count on us to provide the best solution for your broadcast application. Our cable assemblies are built in-house in our ISO 9001:2000 certified facility in Allen, Texas. You can rely on their rugged construction and dependability year after year.
