Modular DVI extension using a single-strand multimode fiber optic cable with Virtual EDID. The Gefen DVI FM15 Modular Fiber Optic Extender allows DVI signal to be extended up to 3300 feet (1 km) away. This extender is the ideal for installations where a DVI source and display are located apart from each other in an interference-prone operating environment. A single-strand of 50/125um laser-optimized multimode (OM3) SC-terminated fiber optic cable provides maximum extension and provides excellent protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and preserving signal integrity. The automatic EDID programming feature enables quick and correct synchronization of the video source to the display without any manual configuration needed. This allows rapid recovery of picture upon display power up or when used in conjunction with Switchers and Matrixes.
