Installation Instructions
The DVI-26xxx-AOC cable consists of a transmitter module (labeled “Source”) and a receiver
module (labeled “Display”) integrated within the cable. The transmitter end must be connected
to the output port of a DisplayPort signal source (such as a PC). The receiver end should be
connected to the input port of a DisplayPort display or projector. This product may be connected
to a Mini-DisplayPort source and/or display using a DisplayPort Female to Mini-DisplayPort Male
Adapter Cable (DVIGear p.n. DVI-8610a).
The video signals in this cable travel over internal optical fibers and are UNIDIRECTIONAL. Other
signals (AUX Channel, HPD, power, etc.) travel over internal copper wires.
Note 3: WARNING:
This cable will not function if it is installed backward. Always connect the Transmitter end
(labeled TX and Source) to the source device and the Receiver end (labeled RX and Display) to the display.
1.)
Connect the Transmitter end of the cable (labeled TX and Source) to the source device.
2.)
Connect the Receiver end (labeled RX and Display) to a display or projector.
3.)
This cable draws power from the connected DisplayPort source, which eliminates the need
for an external power supply.
4.)
Turn ON the Display, and then turn ON switchers and other distribution equipment (if used).
Finally, turn ON the source. Test the system to ensure proper performance.
