Captive Screw
Connecting
Captive screw connectors are used on the DVI Extenders. The captive screw connectors allow you to cut
cables down to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter, and provides a more reliable connection.
The captive screw connectors have a contact bar that is moved to compress the wire to the top contact
plate. Use the screws at the top of the connector to compress the wire against the contact plate.
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector (see picture A) has a contact plate at the top and
must have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture B) the signal will pass,
incorrectly (see picture C) no signal will pass.
For your convenience the cables do not come pre-terminated. Each item, whether it’s an IR receiver (picture
1), IR emitter (picture 2), or power cable (picture 3), will have wires exposed. Each wire is encased in a
different colored jacket. Female captive screw connectors are included: Power (see picture 4) and IR (see
picture 5).
IR pin outs have been included for the included IR emitter and IR receiver (see picture 6 & 7). The wires are
colored for each pin (see picture 8 and 9).
