Product Description
The Gefen FM2500 Modular Dual - link DVI Fiber Optic Extender is a top - notch solution for extending DVI signals. It can send the DVI signal up to 3300 feet (1 km) away, making it perfect when the DVI source and display are far apart, especially in interference - prone environments. Using two strands of 50/125um laser - optimized multimode (OM3) Dual - LC - terminated fiber optic cable, it offers maximum extension and excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), while keeping the signal intact. The automatic EDID programming feature allows for quick and correct synchronization between the video source and the display without any manual setup. This helps in quickly getting the picture back when the display powers up or when used with switchers and matrixes. Key features include: extending dual - link DVI up to 3300 feet (1 km) over OM3 cable, 1650 feet (500 meters) over OM2 cable, and 1000 feet (300 meters) over OM1 cable. It supports 1080p Full HD at 120Hz and dual - link resolutions up to 3840 x 2400. The virtual EDID lets you copy EDID from the display to the source. Fiber optic transmission eliminates EMI. The sturdy metal die - cast enclosures are great for professional and industrial use. The compact sender and receiver modules make installation clean and easy. You can use Gefen CAB - 2LC - xxx OM1 Fiber Optic Link Cables for distances from 30 - 330 feet (9 - 100 meters). It is FCC and CE compliant for EMI/RFI emission. Technical specifications: Shipping length is 9 inches, width 5 inches, height 2.25 inches, and weight 1.1 lbs. UPC is 845344036076. Maximum Pixel Clock is 2 x 165 MHz. Video input and output connectors are (1) DVI - D 24 - pin, male. Link connectors are (2) Type LC. Power supply for the sender is 5V DC (not needed for most applications) and 5V DC for the receiver. Power consumption of the receiver is 1.5W (max.). Relative humidity range is 5% to 85%. Dimensions are 1.54' x 0.59' x 2.83' (39.11mm x 14.98mm x 71.88mm) and shipping weight is 2 lbs (0.91 kg).
Using the Gefen FM2500 Dual Link DVI Dongle Modules is easy. First, connect the sender module to your DVI source using the DVI - D 24 - pin male connector. Then, connect the receiver module to your display in the same way. For the fiber optic connection, use the appropriate type of cable based on the distance between the source and the display. If it's up to 3300 feet, go for the OM3 cable; for 1650 feet, use OM2; and for 1000 feet, choose OM1. The automatic EDID programming feature will handle the synchronization between the source and the display, so you don't need to do any manual configuration. When powering on the display, the picture should quickly appear. If you're using it with switchers or matrixes, it will also work smoothly. As for maintenance, keep the modules in a dry place with relative humidity between 5% and 85%. The sturdy metal enclosures are durable, but try to avoid physical damage. Check the connectors regularly to make sure they are clean and properly connected. Also, ensure that the power supply is stable. For the sender, in most cases, you don't need the 5V DC power supply, but the receiver requires it. If you need to cover distances from 30 - 330 feet, use the Gefen CAB - 2LC - xxx OM1 Fiber Optic Link Cables.
