DVI Extender over Single-Strand Fiber Optic Cable, 1KM (EXT-DVI-FM1000)

EXT-DVI-FM1000

The Gefen DVI FM1000 DVI extender offers a robust and reliable solution for transmitting Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signals over extreme distances, far surpassing the limitations of a standard DVI cable. This powerful system uses two compact transceivers and a single strand of SC multimode fiber optic cable to send high-resolution video up to 3,280 feet (1km) from the source's DVI port to a remote DVI monitor. The all-fiber construction ensures the signal is completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), delivering pristine image quality in any environment. Installation is streamlined by an automatic EDID programming feature that correctly syncs the video source to the display without requiring manual configuration, making it the ideal unobtrusive solution for professional AV and IT installations demanding absolute signal integrity over long runs.

⚠️Comes with both Sender and Receiver Units

Key Features

Long-Range DVI Extension: Extends any Digital Visual Interface (DVI)-compliant device up to 3,280 feet (1km) from the computer source, far surpassing the limitations of standard DVI cables.

 

High-Resolution Video Support: Supports video resolutions up to 1080p, 2K, and 1920x1200 , ensuring a crisp, vibrant image on any DDWG standard-compliant DVI monitor.

 

Single-Strand Fiber Optic Cabling: Utilizes a single, inexpensive, and widely available strand of multimode SC fiber optic cable for transmission, providing a simple and lightweight installation.

 

Automatic EDID Programming: Features an automatic EDID programming function that quickly and correctly synchronizes the video source to the display, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual configuration.

 

Absolute EMI Immunity: Provides complete immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI) thanks to its 100% optical fiber construction, ensuring a stable and reliable signal in electrically noisy environments.

 

Compact, Unobtrusive Design: The tiny transceivers save valuable space and allow for an easy and unobtrusive installation , while also eliminating computer noise from the local workspace.

How It Works

The Gefen DVI FM1000 DVI extender system operates with two compact, modular components: a Sender and a Receiver unit. The Sender unit plugs directly into the DVI port of your computer or other video source device. The Receiver unit connects to your remote DVI monitor or display. To complete the connection, a single strand of multimode SC fiber optic cable links the two units, replacing the need for a long and signal-degrading copper DVI cable. Power is connected to the Receiver unit using the included 5V DC power supply, and once the source is powered on, a crisp and vibrant DVI video signal appears on the remote display, completely free of any electromagnetic interference (EMI).

System Requirements

Cabling: The DVI FM1000 Extender must be operated with a user-supplied, multi-mode SC terminated fiber optic cable.

 

Source Device: A DVI source device with a DVI-D port is required. The source device should supply 5V of power to the DVI port to power the Sender unit.

 

Display: A DVI-compliant display with a DVI-D port is required.

 

Power: The included 5V DC power adapter is required for the Receiver unit. If the source does not provide adequate power to the Sender unit, the power adapter must be connected to the Sender instead.

 

Performance Requirements: Usage that exceeds the following resolution and distance limits is not supported:

  • 1920x1200 will be extended up to 300m (990ft).
  • 1600x1200 will be extended up to 500m (1,650ft).
  • 1280x1024 will be extended up to 1000m (3,280 ft).
