1 .0 INTRODUCTION

The DVI-23xxx-FO long-range DVI / HDMI Fiber Optic Cables feature integrated 
electro-optical converters that provide unmatched signal fidelity with cable 
lengths up to 100 meters (~ 328 ft.).

Designed to overcome the limitations of sending digital DVI and HDMI signals 
over copper wires, DVIGear’s fiber optic cables provide unmatched signal fidelity 
and transparency over a wide range of input resolutions.  These cables utilize 
high-speed, electro-optical converters integrated within each connector.  The 
transmitter module converts the electrical signals from a DVI or HDMI source 
device to optical pulses that are transported over the fiber optic cables to the 
receiver.  The receiver module converts the optical pulses back to the original 
DVI or HDMI signal for display on a monitor or large screen projector.

The cable material utilizes an innovative hybrid design that includes 4x glass 
optical fibers and 6x copper wires.  This approach provides a high degree of 
ruggedness and flexibility.  The transmitter and receiver modules use locking DVI 
connectors and are shielded in high-impact, metal alloy enclosures that provide 
maximum strength and durability.  These features make these cables especially 
well-suited for critical display applications that require long DVI or HDMI cable 
runs with flawless image quality.

Our digital video distribution products have been serving the professional AV 
industry for more than fifteen (15) years.  Today, DVIGear offers a full range 
of high performance products including: scalable AV-Over-10GbE Systems, 
Switchers, Splitters, Scalers, Up/Down/Cross-Converters, Format Converters,
