The ComNet™ FVT/FVR(X)MI[/M] features an HDMI™ fiber link for uncompressed
high-resolution bi-directional communication with full HDCP copyright protection,
EDID and CEC connection functionality. The high-resolution signal is transmitted over
one multimode fiber using multiple wavelengths up to 1000m. Resolutions of up
to 1080p60 are supported. HDCP encryption is not affected or compromised by the
FVT/FVR(X)MI units.
The FVT/FVR(X)MI transmits pixel-for-pixel images and full 24-bit scan rate
with no contouring or bit reduction. This unit is fully compatible with HDMI™
compliant sources and monitors, supporting all possible horizontal and vertical
sync configurations. The CEC support provided by these units allows the user to
communicate with up to ten CEC-enabled devices connected via HDMI™.
A locking HDMI™ screw prevents the connectors from accidental disconnection.
Packaged in either a small stand-alone housing or the exclusive ComNet ComFit
housing, the FVT/FVR(X)MI standard size product may be either wall or rackmounted, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model DINBKT1
adaptor plate.
Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment
operating status. Figure 12 on Page 6 describes the indicators for each light on the unit.
The FVT/FVR(X)MI standard size (ComFit) unit is interchangeable between stand-alone or
card mount configurations, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet
model DINBKT1 adaptor plate. The FVT1MI/M has a small footprint, making it suitable
for shelf- or wall-mounting where space is at a premium. See Figure A on Page 7 for
mounting instructions.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units should
be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and
humidity.
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed
without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends that the
power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply is disconnected
from any power source. Note: Remove electrical connector before
installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into the
card guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back of the card
seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating
may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front
panel.
CAUTION:Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the
card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
