Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
Endpoint Mode (Standalone): Example of Typical System Setup
A standalone DXLink Fiber TX/RX pair are connected directly to each other but, in addition, either the TX or RX is
connected to a NetLinx Central Controller via a LAN or directly to the Controller.
Important:
For information on avoiding network loops, see the next page.
Extender Mode (Standalone): Example of Typical System Setup
A Transmitter and Receiver standalone pair can also work together as an extender solution for transmission of HDMI
over fiber cable. The standalone setup supports DVI-D signals with the use of a DVI-to-HDMI cable adapter. A
standalone TX/RX pair can also support an analog video source. The length of the cable runs depend on whether the
transceivers are single mode or multimode and the quality of the cable (see cable specifications on page 32).
