The Gefen Extender for DVI and RS232 Over One Fiber Optic Cable

The Extender for DVI and RS232 over One Fiber Optic cable is a complete
solution allowing DVI and RS-232 to be extended to a monitor, touch-screen
display, or other DVI device up to 1640 feet (500 meters) from the source.
A single strand SC fi ber optic cable is used for the long distance extension,
providing excellent protection from background electromagnetic interference
(EMI), preserving both DVI and RS-232 signal integrity. Locking DVI, RS-232,
and power connectors ensure secure connections.

How It Works

The Sender unit is placed near the DVI source and the Receiver unit near the
Display. Connect the supplied DVI cable between the Sender unit and the DVI
source. Connect a second DVI cable between the Receiver unit and the display.
Connect the RS-232 cable from the RS-232 source to the Sender unit. Connect
the RS-232 cable between the Receiver unit and the RS-232 connection on the
display side. Connect a single strand of multi-mode SC-terminated fi ber optic
cable between the Sender and Receiver unit. Connect the power supplies to both
the Sender and Reciever unit.
