The Mini DVI Extender extends your PC DVI transmission distance up to 30 meters
with maximum resolution of 1024x768x60. With this extender, you can transmit high
quality digital video of PC applications thru one cost effective CAT -5/5e/6 to a remote
monitor or projector, instead of using short and expensive DVI cables. With
embedded EDID inside the adaptor, your PC will continue to send the digital video
signal even when the monitor is not connected. The user can then disconnect the
monitor, place it in a remote location and reconnect it without rebooting the operating
system.
The Mini DVI Extender includes two adapters: one transmitting and one receiving
unit. The transmitting unit is connected to your PC DVI output and the receiving unit
is connected to the monitor. While successfully connected, the two LED lights on
RJ-45 connector will blink. The transmission distance between the sending and
receiving units can be up to 30 meters at XGA and 10 meters at UXGA. With it’s

Notice
1. All the transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT-5e 125MHz.
2. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in
CAT-5/5e/6 cable, you can use shielded CAT-5/5e/6 cables to improve EMI
problems, which is worsen in the long transmission.
3. The quality of the CAT-5/5e/6 cables is the major factor effecting transmission
distance and signal quality, actual transmission distance depends on the quality of
your CAT-5/5e/6 cable. For resolution greater than 1280x1024, CAT-6 is
recommended.
