Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) is excited to launch new bulk fiber cable and fiber termination tools for installers at the 2019 CEDIA Expo. This product line provides reliable fiber installation at a competitive price and is a first for MHTG, who currently sells bulk category cable, speaker wire, security wire and coax cable. Existing fiber products from MHTG so far have been HDMI® cables from their Velox®, Helios® and Install Bay® brands, at lengths ranging from 3 feet to 330 feet. Now, customers will have the ability to terminate their own fiber lengths with 1,000-foot bulk reels of OM3 multi-mode fiber, available in simplex or duplex options in an easy-pull box. It is available in OFNR riser rated, making it suitable for indoor floor to floor applications or OFNP for plenum applications and designed for today’s 10 Gigabit applications in networks and data centers.

Are you seeing an HDCP incompatibility warning message in a brand new system or a system you had in place for years that suddenly has problems? Our tech team discusses probable causes and identifies solutions we see in most of the common cable box and satellite set top boxes within an HDMI home theater system. We also unbox the new second-generation HDMI All-in-One Correction Tool (HDM-AIO2) and show how it can solve most of these issues and also answer questions taken from our live Facebook video webinar on 8/14/19.
