Features
Power supply — Separate power supplies are provided for both the transmitter and receiver.
Power LEDs — The LEDs are on the top and bottom panels of both the receiver and transmitter. They illuminate green when the unit
is receiving power.
No mounting hardware required — The units plug directly into the source device (transmitter) or output device (receiver) and take up
very little space.
EDID Minder — The DVI 104 transmitter is able to capture and store the resolution and refresh rate of the display device, which
ensures that the source boots up with the correct resolution.
Long cable runs — The DVI 104 Tx/Rx uses four fiber optic cables to extend video signals up to 500 meters (1,640 feet). The cables
must be either 62.5/125 multimode cable or 50/125 multimode cable.
High resolution signal transmission — The units transmit signals at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz.
High rate of data transfer — The units can transmit signals at up to 1.65 Gbps

Power input — The transmitter and receiver both have plugs for a 3.5 mm jack to provide
5 VDC to the unit.
The center pin of the jack carries +5 VDC; the outer shell of the jack is the negative rail.
NOTES:
• If the source device is able to provide 5 VDC on pin 14 of its DVI output, the
transmitter can draw power from the source device. If the source is a laptop or a
PC using a PCI-E graphics card, it will not be able to provide enough power and the
transmitter must be powered with a separate external power supply.
• The receiver must be powered by an external power supply through the power
input plug.
b
LC jacks — Four fiber optic cables connect the transmitter to the receiver. The cables connect to the four female LC jacks in each
of the units.
A label on the top panel identifies the unit as the transmitter or receiver and identifies the fiber optic port numbers and the power
input.
NOTES:
• For the transmitter, port 1 is closest to the power input and port 4 is furthest away. For the receiver, port 4 is closest to
the power input and port 1 is furthest away.
• Although the orientation is reversed, ports with the same number must be connected by the same cable, so that port 1
on the receiver is connected to port 1 on the transmitter, and so forth.
Insert the end of the fiber optic cable into the appropriate plug on the transmitter
Normal Position
Adjusted Position
Locking catch Release catch or receiver. The locking catch should snap into the slot and hold the cable securely
in place.
If the cable is loose or slips out of the slot easily, move the release catch from its
normal position above the locking catch, to the adjusted position under the locking
catch (see the figure above right). This provides the extra leverage required to keep
the locking catch in place and hold the cable securely.
