Congratulations on your purchase of the Gefen DVI Extender 1FO.

Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to install and simple to operate.

The Gefen DVI Extender 1FO

The DVI ber optic pigtail module extender with HDCP support extends DVI up to
3300 feet (1000 meters) using single-strand 50/125µm multimode (OM2/OM3.)
SC-terminated ber optic cable to a supporting display at 1920 x1200 WUXGA
resolution. Optical signal transmission provides galvanic isolation and immunity
to electromagnetic interference compared to similar copper based extension
modules.

The pigtail design of the Sender and Receiver modules relieves stress and clutter
on the source and display connector panels. Their compact design makes them
ideal for tting neatly behind equipment for a clean installation, making it a great

way to easily extend DVI.

How It Works

The Sender pigtail end plugs into the DVI source. The Receiver pigtail end
plugs into the display. Connect a single-strand 50/125µm multimode (OM2/OM3)
SC-terminated ber optic cable from the Sender module to the Receiver module
and a vibrant Hi-Def picture will appear on your display.

OPERATING THE DVI EXTENDER 1FO

Power Indicators

The power indicators on both the Sender and Receiver modules of the DVI
Extender 1FO provide information about the current power state.

Normal operation

If the power indicator on both the Sender and Receiver module glows bright
green, then both the Sender and Receiver module are powered and a valid

connection exists between the DVI source and the display.

Sender module Receiver module

No power on Sender module

If the computer or other DVI source is able to supply the required 5V to the
Sender module, then the power indicator on the Sender module will ash bright

green. If this is the case, then connect the secondary 5V DC power supply
(included) to the power receptacle on the Sender module.
