Using the Gefen GEF - DVI - FM1500 DVI Fiber Optic Cable Extension is easy. First, connect the sender module to your DVI source. Make sure that if your DVI source can provide power on pin 14 of the DVI connector, the sender module won't need an extra power supply. Then, connect the receiver module to your display. Use the provided single - mode or multimode SC terminated fiber optic cable to link the sender and the receiver. When installing, keep in mind that the virtual EDID programming feature will help with quick setup and ensure compatibility between your source and display. For best performance, try to keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference as the extender has good immunity but it's still better to be cautious. In terms of maintenance, keep the connectors clean. If they get dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe them. Don't bend the fiber optic cable too sharply as it might damage the cable and affect the signal transmission. And that's it, you're all set to enjoy high - resolution video up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz over long distances.
