Key Features

Long-Distance Fiber Optic Extension: Extends DisplayPort signals up to 1000 feet (300 meters) over two strands of 50/125µm multi-mode (OM2/OM3) fiber optic cable and up to 500 feet (150 meters) with 62.5/125µm (OM1) fiber.

 

High-Resolution Video Support: Supports resolutions up to 2560×1600 (WQXGA) and 1080p Full HD at 120Hz.

 

Content Protection Compliance: Fully compliant with HDCP and DPCP standards, allowing for the extension of protected content.

 

EMI Immunity: Utilizes fiber optic transmission for galvanic isolation and features cast Aluminum enclosures to eliminate susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

 

DisplayPort Standard Compliance: Adheres to the DisplayPort 1.1a standard and supports Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++).

 

Auxiliary Channel Support: Transmits the auxiliary/I²C channel over the fiber optic link.

 

Clean and Compact Installation: Features compact Sender and Receiver modules with female DisplayPort connectors , which reduce clutter and prevent stress on source and display connectors.

How It Works

The Gefen DisplayPort Extender system uses two main components, a

Sender module and a Receiver module, to transmit video over long distances. The setup is straightforward:

 

First, connect your computer or other DisplayPort source to the

Sender module using a DisplayPort cable. Then, connect your high-definition display to the Receiver module with another DisplayPort cable.

 

Next, you'll link the two modules together. Connect two strands of a multi-mode LC-terminated fiber optic cable from the Sender to the Receiver. It's important to match the ports correctly, connecting port A on the Sender to port A on the Receiver, and port B to port B.

 

Finally, provide power to both units. You can use the included 5V DC power supplies for each module or, alternatively, power them using the included USB to DC power cables connected to a suitable USB port. Once you turn on all your equipment, a vibrant, high-definition picture will appear on your remote display.

System Requirements

Source & Display

 

You'll need a source device, like a computer, that has a DisplayPort output. You'll also need a high-definition display with a DisplayPort input.

 

Fiber Optic Cabling

 

The cable you need depends on the distance you're extending the signal:

 

  • For up to 1000 feet (300 meters): Use two strands of 50/125µm multi-mode (OM2/OM3) LC-terminated fiber optic cable.
  • For up to 500 feet (150 meters): Use two strands of 62.5/125µm multi-mode (OM1) LC-terminated fiber optic cable.

Power

 

You have two options for powering the Sender and Receiver modules:

 

  • Use the two included 5V DC power supplies, which requires an available electrical outlet for each unit.
  • Alternatively, you can use the included USB power cables with a USB device capable of supplying 5V at 500mA for each module.
