• 50 or 62.5 micron multimode ber optic cable is required for operation of the
DVI 1500HD.

• Maximum extension range of 330 feet (100 meters) when the source requires HDCP.
One CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT6 cable is used to transmit DDC and HDCP data back to
the source.

• Maximum range of 1650 feet (500 meters) when the source does not require HDCP.
This scenario does not require the CAT-5, CAT5e or CAT-6 cable if the source does

not require DDC information. If DDC is required, the use of an EDID storage device
(Gefen part no. EXT-DVI-EDIDN or EXT-DVI-EDIDP) can be used to transmit DDC

information back to the source.

• Compatible with all DVI and HDMI (when used with a HDMI-to-DVI adapter) displays.
