Metra Home Theater Group® Announces New Bulk Fiber and Fiber Termination Tools at the 2019 CEDIA Expo

Holly Hill, FL – August 8, 2019 - 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.

MHTG’s new fiber termination tools are designed for both value and quality. Competitively priced, these products not only provide integrators with a complete set of termination tools for cutting and stripping, but also include SC and LC fast connectors, and a high precision visual fault locator to detect poor connection or any other damage. These products will be available soon.
