GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:go the distance

Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / fiber optics transmitter/receiver
English term or phrase: go the distance
Going the distance

With coaxial systems, video/data signals begin to degrade when transmitted beyond just 300 meters. But with YYY, we offer exceptional 20dB optical budget, and can easily transmit multimode video/data for as far as 4 kilometers with no loss of image clarity or quality, and no amplifiers. XXX engineers chose to utilize the full capability of a 1310nm wavelength to transmit video which allows YYY to go the distance.

Mi aiutate a trovare una resa non troppo letterale, ma aderente all'originale? Sono un po' stanca e non riesco a pensare a nulla di creativo...

Grazie!

Andare lontano


Explanation:
Che ne dici? L'ho tratta dal sito che ti indico nei riferimenti. A sua volta è tratta dall'intervista a due tipi, tali E&J (credo siano musicisti, anche se non li mai sentiti nominare, scusate l'ignoranza!):

"The Distance" sta... posso dirlo? ...ok... andando lontano. (Qui usava l'espressione "The Distance is going the distance"... )
