Argosy Adds Barnfind Products To Portfolio

Argosy has announced the addition of the BarnMini range of fibre converters from Barnfind Technologies to its portfolio. The products will make their Argosy debut at BVE 2018, Stand G43.

The BarnMini range is based on a compact and simple device, which provides high quality conversion, particularly between fibre and copper cables. Additional functionality can be implemented by the use of SFPs: small format pluggable devices. SFPs from any vendor, not just Barnfind, which meet the widely recognised MSA standard can be used in BarnMinis.

"The BarnMini is the Swiss army knife of converters – the range allows broadcast and AV system designers to connect more or less anything to anything," said Chris Smeeton, Managing Director of Argosy. "We know that our customers need solutions to convert between SDI, fibre and Cat6 – they are buying all those cables and connectors from us. The great advantage of the BarnMini range is that they just work. They are plug, play and forget. No need to monitor or manage: just put them in the signal path and they will do their job forever. That is a particular bonus in some of the large scale AV installations we are now collaborating on, and which will be expected to run unattended once installed."

Anil Parmar, Director of Sales, Barnfind Technologies, added: "BarnMinis solve everything from a simple task to complex solutions, in an easy to specify, easy to install package. Argosy is a problem-solving company, and they readily grasped the huge benefits of the BarnMini – it is a great route to market for us."
