Gefen Introduces Devices To Extend DVI Over Fiber Optic Cable

Gefen, the digital connectivity solutions provider, recently announced the shipping of new DVI over fiber extenders.  Three out of four new devices use small, modular  sender and receiver, that can be a lightweight and efficient solution for streamline installations. Fourth device features the traditional rack mount sender and receiver for units for KVM extension. In applications where electromagnetic interference would be an issue or when several extenders are used in tight spaces, the use of fiber optic cable would be an ideal.

DVI Extender 1FO  DVI-CP-FM10

The pig-tail sender and receiver that take up little space are used in this extender, which is able to extend DVI up to 1000ft, using one strand fiber optic cable terminated in SC. 1920×1200 high resolution video is supported by this unit. Constant sync of the display and the video source is provided by Virtual EDID programming. This DVI unit is interchangeable with HDCP-compliance and with HDMI.

DVI 1FO Extender  DVI-FM15

Reliable method of connecting DVI directly at the display and source is provided by these two small sender and receiver units. 1920×1200 high resolution video can be extended up to 328ft, using single-mode fiber optic cable or up to 1640ft using a multi-mode fiber optic cable. More robust solution than existing products that support same distances is provided by die-cast modules.

DL DVI 2FO Extender DVI-FM2500

The two small sender and receiver modules connect directly to the DVI connectors at the display and source. Dual link DVI with resolutions up to 3840×2400 can be extended up to 1640ft employing two multi-mode fiber optic cables terminated at SC. This would be an ideal solution for an alternative methods of dual link DVI extension for long distances.
