Summary: SmartFIBER Singlemode 9

ProAV Fiber Solutions Built for Commercial Performance
Windy City Wire manufactures low-voltage SmartWire fiber solutions designed for reliable ProAV signal transport across commercial and industrial environments. If you’re building or upgrading a matrixed AV system, a broadcast control room, a lecture hall network, or a venue backbone, our singlemode distribution fiber optic cable delivers distance, bandwidth, and immunity to interference that conventional copper-based pro av cable cannot match—all with a focus on installation efficiency and long-term dependability.

Purpose-built for Professional AV
Our 12-fiber, singlemode distribution construction is engineered for high-density backbones and device-to-rack links where consistent performance and rapid deployment matter. From 4K/8K video over IP to control, intercom, and monitoring, SmartWire fiber optic cable supports the long runs and clean signal paths ProAV systems require, while maintaining the low-voltage safety profile your projects demand.

  • Commercial-grade reliability: Singlemode architecture supports long-distance transmission and high bandwidth for modern AV over IP platforms.
  • Installation efficiency: SmartWire Glide lubrication reduces pull friction by up to 70% to help crews pull faster with less rework, especially in congested pathways.
  • Run accuracy and waste reduction: FastFIND Footage Markers make measuring pulls straightforward and help reduce indiscriminate waste by 15–25%.
  • Code-conscious design: Plenum-rated distribution construction supports indoor/outdoor routing needs while meeting stringent building requirements.
  • System-friendly integration: Works seamlessly in fiber backbones feeding media converters, switches, and panels, and pairs cleanly with your on-site patch cables for cross-connects.
  • Standardization options: Choose the yellow jacket for quick identification, or contact our team about custom jacket and stripe colors to align with your organization’s standards.

Where this fiber excels
Enterprise campuses, arenas and stadiums, houses of worship, higher education facilities, theme parks, convention centers, and corporate collaboration spaces benefit from the distance and EMI immunity of singlemode fiber optic cable—particularly where long home runs, high port counts, and mixed-use pathways are common.

What you can expect from SmartWire
SmartWire is the Windy City Wire brand of U.S.-manufactured, low-voltage cable. All stock SmartWire cables include SmartWire Glide lubrication from the factory to help reduce friction and speed up pulls. FastFIND Footage Markers are standard across SmartWire, helping field teams verify remaining footage and plan point-to-point runs with confidence. These features are part of our complete product and solution approach to improving safety, efficiency, and total project value.

Solutions: SmartFIBER Singlemode 9

SmartFIBER Singlemode 9: Backbone-ready fiber optic cable for commercial AV infrastructure
Windy City Wire supplies professional integrators, electrical contractors, and consultants with ProAV cabling built for large-scale, high-uptime environments. Our SmartFIBER Singlemode 9 distribution cable is engineered for backbone and campus links that connect AV systems across rooms, floors, and buildings. The 12-fiber, indoor/outdoor plenum design supports long-distance signal transport while meeting stringent building airspace requirements. Its yellow jacket provides quick singlemode identification in racks and pathways, helping teams maintain clean, organized infrastructure.

Why singlemode fiber for ProAV
Singlemode fiber optic cable is the preferred medium for moving high-resolution video, real-time audio, and control data over long runs with low latency and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. It supports today’s networked AV and positions facilities for future bandwidth growth without frequent recabling.

Where SmartFIBER Singlemode 9 fits in AV systems

  • Video transport backbones – AV-over-IP, uncompressed/visually lossless 4K and higher, IPTV headends, contribution/distribution links to LED processors, projectors, and switch cores.
  • Command, control, and KVM – High-density operator positions, multiview processing, camera and PTZ return paths, and secure control networks across operations centers.
  • Networked audio and intercom – Dante/AES67 and intercom trunking between performance spaces, production racks, and broadcast rooms with high channel counts.
  • Streaming and recording workflows – Studio-to-control-room ties, content ingest, and media transport to storage or editing suites.
  • Digital signage and IPTV distribution – Reliable backbones from headend to IDFs serving concourses, lobbies, retail floors, and campuses.
  • System redundancy and spares – The 12-fiber distribution construction allows dedicated primary/backup paths, diverse routes, and spare strands for rapid change management.

Industries and environments that benefit

  • Corporate and enterprise – Conference centers, divisible meeting spaces, all-hands auditoriums, and campus interbuilding links for UC/video conferencing and signage.
  • Higher education – Lecture capture networks, performance halls, arenas, and residence-life AV connected through central MDF/IDF architectures.
  • Healthcare – Teaching hospitals, simulation labs, and telemedicine suites needing low-noise, reliable signal paths through plenum spaces and equipment floors.
  • Government and public safety – EOCs, command centers, training facilities, council chambers, and secure campuses requiring robust, compartmentalized backbones.
  • Sports and entertainment – Stadium and arena bowl-to-rack links, OB/production interconnects, broadcast rooms, and LED ribbon board control.
  • Hospitality and convention – Ballroom AV grids, exhibit halls, and back-of-house headends supporting frequent reconfiguration.
  • Houses of worship – IMAG, overflow rooms, and multi-building campuses with centralized switching and processing.
  • Transportation – Airport and rail terminals for wayfinding displays, paging system backbones, and operations centers.
  • Retail and experiential – High-brightness video walls, interactive zones, and distributed audio networks across large footprints.
  • Industrial and utilities – Manufacturing and energy facilities where fiber’s EMI immunity supports clean AV and control links near heavy equipment.

Design and deployment highlights

  • 12-fiber distribution – Efficiently serve multiple AV circuits over a single pull; fan out to different rooms, processors, or switch fabrics while reserving strands for growth.
  • Plenum-rated for air spaces – Streamlines code compliance in return-air plenums and common pathways throughout commercial buildings.
  • Indoor/outdoor versatility – Simplifies transitions from entrances to telecom spaces and between buildings on a campus, reducing handoffs and complexity.
  • Streamlined rack integration – Land fibers in patch panels and distribute to gear with patch cables for serviceable, well-documented terminations.
  • Clear identification – Yellow jacket aligns with common singlemode identification practices, aiding maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • Interoperable – Supports common connector types and splicing methods used in professional AV and IT environments.

Common application topologies

  • Backbone runs – MDF-to-IDF trunks that feed switch stacks, DSPs, LED processors, and codec racks across floors and buildings.
  • Point-to-point links – Long-distance camera, projector, or stage box connections where copper would be impractical.
  • Ring or diverse-path designs – Redundant routes for mission-critical venues to maintain uptime during maintenance or pathway issues.

How it helps the ProAV jobsite
For integrators, this pro av cable category reduces re-pulls by consolidating multiple AV circuits in one 12-core trunk, enabling segmentation per system (video, audio, control) and facilitating phased buildouts. It terminates cleanly into fiber enclosures, accepts standard patch cables inside racks, and supports long campus distances with headroom for future formats.
