7.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
Once all connections have been made and power has been applied to all
components, this extension system should function immediately. This product
has no adjustments and does not require configuration.
8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the system fails to display a signal, power OFF all devices and verify that the
following connections are properly installed:
• Ensure the TX unit is connected to the source and the RX unit is
connected to the Display using short, high quality DisplayPort cables.
• The fiber optic cable must be connected on both the TX Unit and the
RX unit. Check to ensure that the optical cable is fully inserted into
the ports. Note that slight pressure on the fiber optic cable and/or
connector should NOT have any influence on the image quality of the
signal.
• The supplied External AC Power Adapters should be connected to both
the TX and RX units.
Once all connections have been verified, power ON the display first, and then
the DisplayPort signal source.
If there is no picture or if there are intermittent picture issues, please determine
whether the Fiber Link LEDs are lit. If the Fiber Link LEDs are not lit, then it
may be necessary to check the quality and/or condition of the fiber optic cable
being used. Fiber optic ports and cables are very sensitive to dust, dirt and oil
from handling. Even minute amounts of obstructive material can interfere with
or disrupt the optical transmission of the video signals. If erratic performance
or disruption is noted, it may be necessary to have qualified technical personnel
clean the optical ports and/or optical cable using appropriate procedures and
cleaning materials.

Note 8-1:
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.
If the system still fails to display an image, ensure that the DisplayPort signal
source is compatible with the display by making a direct connection between
the two, bypassing the Fiber Optic Extender. If there is still no image, then
there is a compatibility issue between the source and the display that must be
resolved.
