The Gefen DVI FM500 Extender

The DVI FM500 Extender lets you extend your DVI source up to 5,000 feet away using a 100% fiber optic extension solution. Attractive and compact DVI-to-fiber modules connect to each other via just two LC fiber optic cable strands. Extender units fit neatly behind equipment for a clean installation.

The on the fly EDID programming feature enables quick and correct synchronization of the video resolu- tion to the display without any manual configuration. It’s a great way to extend DVI easily and cleanly.

How It Works

The DVI FM 500 Sender unit plugs into a DVI port (either a computer source or another device trans- mitting a DVI signal). The DVI FM 500 Receiver unit plugs into a DVI display - up to 5,000 feet away. Two-strand LC fiber optic cable connects the DVI FM 500 Sender unit and the DVI FM500 Receiver units to each other. Power is connected to the DVI FM 500 receiver using the 5V wall adapter and a crisp, vibrant HD picture appears on the display.
