• DVI output — One female DVI-I connector supports DVI-D
output.
The acceptable output cable length is 16.4' (5 m).
N Dual link DVI cables must be used for dual link DVI
signals. With a single link DVI cable, only single-link
signals are possible.
• Rack and furniture mounting — The equalizer can be
mounted on a rack shelf, or under or through a desk or
podium.
• Power supply — An external international power supply with
a two-pin captive screw connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.

About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron DVI DL 101
Dual Link Cable Equalizer and describes how to connect
and operate it. The terms "DVI DL" and "equalizer" are used
interchangeably throughout this manual to refer to the product.
About the DVI DL 101 Cable Equalizer
The Extron DVI DL 101 is a dual link cable equalizer that
extends Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signals beyond the
specied cable limits of 15' (5 m). The DVI DL attaches to the
end of a long cable run of up to 275' (84 m) for dual link and up
to 200' (61 m) for single link.
Placed just before the display in the cable run, it automatically
equalizes and drives the signal, eliminating any noise or
dropouts, to ensure optimal image quality. It supports all dual
link DVI signals up to 330 MHz, including 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz.
Also, because dual link is backwards compatible with single
link, all single link rates up to 165 MHz, including 1920x1200
and 1080p @ 60 Hz, are also supported.
The DVI DL passes Extended Display Identication Data (EDID)
information and supports the long distance transmission of
HDTV signals with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) for copy protection of digital television broadcasts and
high resolution digital video output from DVD, HD DVD, and
Blu-ray Disc players. DDC lines are passed through with the
option of active buffering to ensure compatibility among various
source and display congurations.
With the appropriate adapters from Extron, the DVI DL is fully
compatible with the HDMI digital video, audio, and control
standard for audio/video products.
Features
• Power/Signal status indicator — The LED on the front panel
lights amber to indicate that power is connected. When a
source signal is present, this LED lights green.
• Optional buffering of DDC/HDCP lines — DDC/HDCP
clock and data lines can be actively buffered or passed
straight through to the output.
• Enclosure — Compact 1" (2.5 cm) high, ¼ rack wide metal
enclosure
• DVI input — One DVI-I female connector accepts a DVI-D
input signal and supports dual link rates of up to 330 MHz, as
well as all single link rates up to 165 MHz.
The maximum length for input cables is 200' (50.8 m) for the
highest rates (330 MHz for dual link; 135 MHz for single link).
