Point-to-Point DVI Hybrid Cable
C-FODM/FODM
Description
The Digital Visual Interface is a low cost, high quality graphics interface between a host processor
video card and a display panel. Optical technology for this transmission stretches the performance
beyond the limitations of copper wire with longer length, data security, negligible RFI/EMI and the
elimination of costly analog distribution systems.
C-FODM/FODM has four (4) multi-mode fibers for TMDS transmission and copper wires for DDC/
HDCP in a jacket. It transmits uncompressed 2K resolution at 60Hz, 1080p up to 100m (328feet) and
.supplies +5V DC power either from video sources or external power adapter in the shipping group
There are male DVI-D connectors at each end. The high-speed graphic data transmission is
accomplished by using a VCSEL array inside the transmitter connector, and a Pin-PD array inside the
receiver connector.

Recommended Operating Conditions
Note1. Tested with a 50mV
the recommended power supply filter in place. Typically less than a 0.25 dB change in sensitivity is experienced.
Note2. Graphic Supply Voltage is only for the Graphic Signal Interface which is generated by regulator in the Transmitter
and Receiver

Opticis utilizes three types of test criteria for a reduction of variability and a continuous improvement of
the process by its FEMA (Failure Mode and Effective Analysis) program.
1) Mechanical test (vibration, shock)
2) Temperature & humidity tests
3) EMC test (FCC class A andCE Verification)
