3 Overview
The Kramer
C-AFDM/AFDM
Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable
is a digital high-
quality graphics interface between a DVI-D source (for example, a host processor
video source) and a DVI-D acceptor (for example, a display panel). The
C-
AFDM/AFDM
consists of a transmitter and a receiver, connected by all fiber
optic distribution cables with male DVI-D connectors at each end. The
C-
AFDM/AFDM
transmits both the graphic signal and display information
(DDC/HDCP) over optic fiber, thus overcoming the limit of using copper cables
for DDC.
In addition, the
C-AFDM/AFDM
:
Features a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps for each channel
Supports all VESA resolutions up to WUXGA (1,920x1,200), at 60Hz
refresh rate with 1 pixel/clock mode
Has 8 fiber strands: four for DDC/HDCP interconnection and four for red,
green, blue and clock transmission
Extends up to 500 meters
Does not emit any electromagnetic interference or emission on the cable,
making it suitable for any medical or other EMI sensitive environment
Electrically isolates the source from the acceptor
Can use either DC power from the graphic card or AC/DC power from an
ex5V adapter
Requires no software installation
