Extron Electronics DVI DL 201 Tx_Rx User Guide - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
This user guide contains information about the Extron
®
DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx signal
transmitter and receiver, with information on how to mount, install, and operate these
units.
In this guide, unless otherwise specified, the terms “DVI DL 201” and “DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx”
refer to both the transmitter (DVI DL 201 Tx) and the receiver (DVI DL 201 Rx). The term
“transmitter” refers to the DVI DL 201 Tx, and “receiver” refers to the DVI DL 201 Rx.
About the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx
The DVI DL 201 Tx and DVI DL 201 Rx are dual link DVI transmitter/receiver units. They can
be purchased as a pair or as individual units.
Each purchased pair and each individual unit is shipped with a single external desktop
12 VDC power supply. A single power supply, connected to the transmitter, is able to
power both devices.
Using three CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair cables, DVI-D signals can be extended up to
100 feet (30 m) at resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. This is significantly further than
the 15 feet (5 m) specified for standard dual link DVI cables.
NOTES: The DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. However, STP cables are required to ensure
FCC Class A and CE compliance.
Do not use skew-free cable. Extron strongly recommends DTP26 cable,
especially when using high resolutions such as 1920x1200, 1600x1200, or
2560x1600. DTP26 cable is available as non-plenum (part number 22-214-03)
or plenum (part number 22-215-03).
