 DVI DL 101 is a dual link cable equalizer that extends DVI signals beyond the specified cable limits of 

15 feet (5 m).  It attaches to the end of a long cable run of up to 275 feet (84 m) for dual link and up to 200 feet (61 m) 
for single link.  The DVI DL supports all dual link DVI signals up to 330 MHz, including 2560x1600 or1080p at 60 Hz.  It is 
backwards compatible with single link, therefore supporting all single link rates up to 165 MHz, including 1920x1200 and 
1080p at 60 Hz.
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate this cable equalizer.

Installation Procedure

1. 

Turn off and disconnect all equipment from the 
power source.

2. 

(Optional) If desired, mount the DVI DL on a 9.5, 6, 
or 3.5 inch deep rack shelf; a projector mounting 
pole; or furniture.

3. 

Connect a DVI source device to the DVI-Dual Link 
Input DVI-I connector on the front panel.

 

4. 

Connect a DVI output device to the DVI-Dual Link 
Output DVI-I connector on the rear panel.

NOTE:

 

Dual link DVI cables must be used for 
dual link DVI signals.  If a single link 
DVI cable is used, only single link DVI 
signals are possible.

5. 

Wire the provided power supply as illustrated below 
and connect it to the 2-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw 
connector on the rear panel.

CAUTION:

  

The power supply must not be permanently fixed 
to the building structure or similar structures.  
The power supply must not be located within 
environmental air handling spaces or the wall 
cavity.  

                      The installation must be in accordance with the 

applicable provisions of the National Electrical 
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 725 and the Canadian 
Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 16.

 

       The power supply must be located within the 

same vicinity as the Extron A/V processing 
equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution 
Degree 2, secured to a podium, a desk, or an 
equipment rack within a dedicated closet.

CAUTION:

  

Applying power with incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and equalizer.  Identify 
the negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord.  (See the illustration above.)

CAUTION:

 

Always use a power supply by Extron for the DVI DL 101.  Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all 

regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the DVI DL.
