Installation 
 

Important: Please use the installation procedure below.  Improper, or no 
operation may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed. 

 

Step 1 

Carefully unpack the contents of the shipping group. Before next step, ensure 
that your graphic card is set at no higher than SXGA (1,280x1,024) 60Hz in 
direct connection of copper DVI cables. 

 
Step 2  

With system power turned 

off

, connect the upstream Transmitter box to the 

DVI and USB receptacle of a computer by a DVI and a USB copper cable, 
respectively. Even without USB connection, this product works. If necessary, 
the RS232 cable plugs to the D-sub 9-pin connector.

computer 

Step 3 

In the same way as above, connect the Receiver box into the DVI receptacle 
of the display, the USB devices and the RS232 device by the other DVI, USB, 
and RS232 copper cables, respectively. The receiver offers a connection of 4 
USB devices.

Step 4  

Remove the module dust covers and connect a duplex SC fiber cable to SC 
receptacles of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes, as shown in Fig. 4.  
Carefully ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged.

Notice: 

Please DO NOT look directly into the SC receptacles of both 

Transmitter and Receiver boxes, while they are powered on, although they 
are regulated strictly enough to operate under the Laser Class I, classified by 
CDRH/FDA for eye safety. 

 
Step 5 

Connect an AC/DC power adapter to both of the Transmitter and Receiver 
boxes as your availability of AC outlets. You can find power indicators lit on in 
the both boxes.

Step 6 

Power on the computer and display or connected devices. Ensure the link 
indicators are light on, presenting secure connection of SC duplex fiber cables 
and the DVI indicator in the Transmitter box light on, presenting secure 
connection of the DVI cable. You can find USB indicators being connected to 
your USB devices. 
 

Tip 1:

 After initial installation as guided in the above, we recommend you to 

power On and Off while all connections are set and the Tx/Rx boxes are 
powered in.  

Tip 2:

 Avoid “hot plugging” the Tx or Rx boxes as this is not recommended 

practice with live digital voltages.
