New DVI Extenders by Gefen

Gefen has been known as an excellent provider of solutions for signal extensions and switching between the signals. They introduced several extension devices to aid integrators with DVI-based installations.

In most cases displays and other end points are rarely located close to signal sources, therefore reliable connections extension methods must be provided. Gefen has supplied DVI lines with its DVI RS-232 over Fiber Extender and Dual link DVI over CAT6 Extender devices.

DVI over CAT6 rackmount sender/receiver solution can extend dual-link DVI high resolutions (up to 3840×2400) by using two CAT6 cables, which could be affective at distances up to 200 feet. Other features like RS-232 control and built-in EDID management are provided by plug-and-play installation. DVI RS-232 over Fiber, the ultra-long extender sends both signals up to 1,640 feet, using single-strand fiber. Both of these devices have  locking connectors for power supplies.

These devices are used for automation and A/V installs, where connection distances are long. Gefen states that DVI RS-232 extender is also perfect solution for applications where EMI is an issue.
