Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY DVI-D Cat.5e/6 Extender. With this Extender you
can use up to 70m of high-quality inexpensive Cat.5e/6 cable to connect a DVI source to
a DVI display device. The slim RJ45 connectors and Cat.6 cable (not included) allow
greater flexibility not possible with larger DVI connectors and cables.
The DVI Extender is recognized by the system (Windows) as a ‘DVI Extender’ device.
The Windows drivers allow selection of all resolutions supported by the monitor and
extender/graphics card combination. Resolution selection may differ if the display device
is connected directly via DVI.
The Extender supports the following resolutions/distance combinations:
Resolution Distance
800x600 70m
1024x768 65m
1280x1024 up to 1920x1200 50m
In any environment with strong electromagnetic disturbances as well as for larger
distances, the extender should be used with shielded cables.
Normal operation will not require external power; however, the Transmitter unit allows
external power to be attached in cases where the graphics card does not provide sufficient
power.

Installation
Please note that both transmitter and receiver units are not identical and must be installed
in the correct position.
Connect both units with a Cat.5e/6 cable of appropriate length as described above.
Connect the transmitter directly to your DVI source and the receiver directly to your DVI
display device. The LEDs on both units should be illuminated. Installation is now complete.
Turn on your devices. To adjust the resolution settings, right click any empty area on your
desktop, choose Screen resolution. Click on the drop-down list beside Resolution, slide
the slider up or down to the desired resolution, then click outside the resolution drop down
list box and click OK. If the resolution of your monitor is not in the menu, click on Advanced
settings and click on the Monitor tab. Uncheck ‘Hide modes that this monitor cannot
display’ and set the refresh rate to least 50Hz or not more than 60Hz! Click on ‘Apply’ and
then click on ‘Adapter’ tab and click on ‘List all modes’ to set the correct resolution.
Troubleshooting
If you are having problems getting a signal on your monitor please regard the above length
limitation and use high quality connection cables from LINDY as described above. Adjust
the resolution to a far lower setting and then increase it step by step to find out the
maximum supported resolution. If you are still getting problems when setting higher
resolution please use a higher quality LINDY Cat.5e/6 cable, and a higher quality graphics
card /DVI source with a more stable output signal.
