Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY Fibre Optic DVI-D cable. This cable
is an integrated solution for extending DVI digital signals over long
distances. The fibre-optic technology used allows transmission distances
that far exceed the maximum supported by standard copper-based
cables.
The LINDY Fibre Optic DVI-D cable is a hybrid solution which features
H-PCF (Hard-Polymer Clad Fibre) glass fibres for the digital display
signals and copper wires for the DDC / HDCP control signals.
The Transmitter and Receiver modules are each equipped with standard
DVI-D Male connectors for connecting to the source (PC with DVI
graphics card etc.) and the display. The modules are connected together
by the combined fibre optic and copper cable. This integrated design
makes for true ‘Plug & Play’ operation.
System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
You must have a Graphics card with a DVI-D port correctly installed.
It should support the maximum resolution of the display to be

Power Requirements (Using the optional DC adapter)
Depending on the make & model of your display you may require one
external 5V DC power adapter to drive the transmitter module. This is
not included and can be purchased if required.
