Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this LINDY Fibre Optic DVI-D cable. This cable
is an integrated solution for extending DVI digital signals over long
distances. The fibre-optic technology used allows transmission distances
that far exceed the maximum supported by standard copper-based
cables.
The LINDY Fibre Optic DVI-D cable is a hybrid solution which features
H-PCF (Hard-Polymer Clad Fibre) glass fibres for the digital display
signals and copper wires for the DDC / HDCP control signals.
The Transmitter and Receiver modules are each equipped with standard
DVI-D Male connectors for connecting to the source (PC with DVI
graphics card etc.) and the display. The modules are connected together
by the combined fibre optic and copper cable. This integrated design
makes for true ‘Plug & Play’ operation.
System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
•
You must have a Graphics card with a DVI-D port correctly
installed. It should support the maximum resolution of the
display to be connected.
•
Compatible with PC, Sun and Mac computers.
•
There are no special requirements for memory, CPU speed
and chipsets.
Power Requirements (Using the DC adapter)

transmitter or receiver unit.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances must you use any
other PSU other than the one supplied with this cable as
serious damage will result.
