1.2. Fiber-Optics
All Q-Series Extenders are available with either Multi-mode or Single-mode optics which allows users
to securely locate a display device and peripherals up to 80 kilometers away from the controlling
computer without loss of resolution. (See Technical Specifications on page 10.)
In addition, all high speed peripherals function with minimal latency, making it ideally suited for a wide
range of applications in the broadcast and post-production field, command and control centers,
universities, air traffic control, energy production and exploration, and most other commercial KVM
applications.
2.0. System Features
ACT-10 is compati
ble with Thinklogical’s single- and dual-link Velocity DVI & KVM extenders.
The Transmit Side

The system includes a Thinklogical Velocity Transmitter, which connects to the source.

The Transmitter converts KVM from the source into 6G MRTS data for fiber optic transmission.

This signal is transmitted to the ACT-10 Transmitter, which converts the MRTS data into 10G
Ethernet MAC encapsulated packets with VLAN tags, enabling the data to be received by the
service provider LAN network interface.

The Service Provider

The service provider is required to supply the required Network Interface Device (NID) with a 10GE
LAN interface on the user side and a WAN interface, SONET OC-192, CET, OTN-ODU2 or PON
on the service provider side.

The service provider WAN must also include a service level agreement, indicating no packet re-
ordering, a maximum latency of 50ms and a PDV no greater than 1us.

The Receiver Side

After data is transmitted through the service provider network via VLAN switching, data is received
by an ACT-10 Receiver at the opposite side of the system.

The data is converted from 10G Ethernet MAC encapsulation back to MRTS.

The ACT-10 then transmits the data to a Velocity Receiver, which displays the content.
