6.1 Installation Instructions
1. Mount the TX and RX units as needed using the provided Mounting
Brackets. See section 6.3 for more information.
2. Connect the TX to the DisplayPort output port of the signal source (e.g.
PC) using a high quality DisplayPort cable.
3. Connect the RX to the DisplayPort input port of a destination device (e.g.
digital display) using a high quality DisplayPort cable.
4. Connect an LC fiber optic cable (single strand of either Multi-Mode Fiber
or Single-Mode Fiber) between the Optical Output port on the TX unit and
the Optical Input port on the RX unit.

5. Connect other peripheral devices to the units as needed (see section 4.2).
6. Connect the supplied External AC Power Adapters to the power input jack
on the TX and RX units. Once the plug is inserted into the jack, rotate the
locking nut on the plug clockwise until it is tight, to secure the cable. There
is no power switch on these units. The units will turn ON as soon as the
AC Power Adapter is connected to a live AC power receptacle. Use only
the supplied power adapters to avoid the possibility of equipment damage.
7. Apply power to the display device, then apply power to the source device.
A picture should appear on the display within a few seconds. Next apply
power to any connected peripheral devices.
Note 6-1:
This product supports the use of both
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
, and
Multi-
Mode Fiber (MMF)
. However, extra care is required when using SMF due to its smaller
optical aperture (8.9 microns) versus 50-60 microns for MMF. This smaller aperture means
that SMF optical cables have an increased risk of contamination due to dirt, dust, oils, etc.
that can be caused by poor handling.
