Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Designed to overcome the limitations of sending digital DisplayPort signals over copper wires,
DVIGear’s fiber optic cables provide unmatched signal fidelity and transparency at resolutions up
to 4096x2160 @ 60Hz with lengths up to 40 meters (130 ft.). These cables utilize high-speed
electro-optical converters integrated within the cable. The transmitter module converts the
electrical signals from a DisplayPort source device to optical pulses that are transported over
the fiber optic cable to the receiver. The receiver module converts the optical pulses back to the
original DisplayPort signal for display on a monitor or large screen projector.
The cable material utilizes an innovative hybrid design that includes 4x glass optical fibers and 6x
copper wires. This approach provides a high degree of ruggedness and flexibility. The DisplayPort
connectors employ a locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection. The transmitter and
receiver modules are shielded in high-impact, metal alloy enclosures that provide maximum
strength and durability.
These cables are designed for use in mission critical applications where image quality and
dependability are paramount. The video signals are transmitted over four optical fibers, which
make them immune to interference from environmental noise sources. The optical transmission
path provides a very low RFI / EMI profile, which allows the cables to be installed in sensitive
applications with strict security requirements. These cables draw power from the connected
DisplayPort source, eliminating the need for an external power supply. These features make these
cables ideally suited for critical display applications that require long DisplayPort cable runs with
ultra-high resolution and flawless image quality.
