1.0 INTRODUCTION
The DVI-23xx-FO long-range DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic Cables feature integrated electro-optical converters that provide unmatched signal delity with cable lengths up to 100 meters (~ 328 ft.).
Designed to overcome the limitations of sending digital DVI and HDMI signals over copper wires, DVIGear’s ber optic cables provide unmatched signal delity and transparency over a wide range of input resolutions. These cables utilize high-speed, electro-optical converters integrated within each connector. The transmitter module converts the electrical signals from a DVI or HDMI source device to optical pulses that are transported over the ber optic cables to the receiver. The receiver module converts the optical pulses back to the original DVI or HDMI signal for display on a monitor or large screen projector.
The cable material utilizes an innovative hybrid design that includes 4x glass optical bers and 6x copper wires. This approach provides a high degree of ruggedness and exibility. The transmitter and receiver modules use locking DVI connectors and are shielded in high-impact, metal alloy enclosures that provide maximum strength and durability. These features make these cables especially well-suited for critical display applications that require long DVI or HDMI cable runs with awless image quality.
Our professional digital distribution products have been serving the industry for over ten (10) years. DVIGear offers a full line of high-quality Digital Matrix Routers, Switchers, Splitters, Video Scalers, Up/Down/Cross Converters, Format Converters, Analog-Digital Converters, as well as a wide range of long­reach Digital Cables, Extenders, and Optical Transmission systems.

Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:
• 1x DVI-23xx-FO DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic Cable
• 1x User Guide
Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you nd any items are missing, contact your reseller or DVIGear immediately. Please have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice Number available for reference when you call.
4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
The DVI-23xx-FO cable consists of a transmitter module (labeled “Computer”) and a receiver module (labeled “Monitor”) integrated with the cable. The transmitter module converts the DVI or HDMI input signals into light pulses for transmission over 4x Multi-Mode glass bers, and the receiver module converts the light pulses back to a DVI or HDMI signal for display on a monitor or projector. The transmitter module should be connected to the output port of the signal source (such as a PC). The receiver module should be connected to the input port of a digital display. This product may be connected to an HDMI source and/or display using a DVI Female to HDMI Male Adapter Cable (DVIGear part number DVI-8511b).

consists of 4x high-speed glass optical bers and 6x copper wires. Note that the video signals travel over the glass bers and are UNIDIRECTIONAL. The other signals (DDC, HPD, power, etc.) travel over the copper wires.
Warning: This cable will not function if it is installed backward. Always connect the transmitter module (Computer) to the source device and the receiver module (Monitor) to the display.

5.1 Interconnections
DVI-23xx-FO
Fiber Optic Cable up to 100m
Receiver Module
(Monitor)
Display Device
(e.g. Projector)
1. Connect the transmitter module (labeled “Computer”) to the source device (e.g. PC, Blu-Ray, receiver/switcher output).
2. Connect the receiver module (labeled “Monitor”) to the display (or receiver input, switcher input).
3. In many applications, the DVI-23xx-FO cable can receive power from the source device via the 5V power pin on the DVI or HDMI connector. In the event that the source device cannot provide adequate power, the cable may also be powered using an optional External AC Power Adapter. In this case, connect an AC Power Adapter to the power input jack on the transmitter module and then to a live AC power source.
4. Turn ON the Display, and then turn ON switchers and other distribution equipment (if used). Finally, turn ON the source. Test the system to ensure proper performance.

5.2 Optional AC Power Adapter
The DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic Cables can be powered by the source device, provided it can supply sufcient current to the cable via the 5V power pin on the DVI or HDMI connector. The cable requires ~350 ma of DC current to energize the electronics in both the transmitter and receiver modules. Some sources have no problem delivering sufcient power; however, other sources may not be able to meet this requirement. In such circumstances, the DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic cable will not be properly energized and will be unable to pass an image.
An optional +5VDC External AC Power Adapter may be used to avoid potential problems with inadequate source power. The power adapter plugs into a 3.5mm jack in the transmitter side of the cable. Inserting the power adapter blocks the 5V power from the DVI or HDMI source so that the adapter’s power does not backow to the source (see diagram below).

5.3 Optional Flexible Protective Boot for Tx and/or Rx Modules
The DVI-2300-CVR is a exible boot cover that provides additional protection during installation, moving or storage. To secure the boot to a transmitter or receiver module, rst slip the cover snugly over the module. Next, wrap the exible attachment arm around the cable and create a loop. Pull the end of the attachment arm through the provided hole past the attachment point.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the system fails to display an image, power OFF all devices and verify the following:
1. The transmitter module must be connected to the Source device. The receiver module must be connected to the Display.
2. Conrm there is power to the Fiber Optic Cable. The transmitter module must receive adequate power in order to function. In the event that the source device cannot provide sufcient power, the transmitter may be powered by an External AC Power Adapter (see page 7).
3. Once all connections have been veried, power ON the monitor rst, then any intermediate equipment, such as switchers, and nally the source device.
4. If the system still fails to display an image, conrm that the ber cable was not damaged during installation.
5. If the system still fails to display an image, check to ensure that the signal source is compatible with the display by making a direct connection between the two with a short cable so as to bypass the DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic Cable. If there is still no image, then there is a compatibility issue between the source and the display that must be resolved.
