Product Information
Full details
The Lindy 500m Fibre Optic DVI-D Single Link Extender is designed for users needing to transmit DVI-D signals over long distances without signal loss. Its primary benefit is enabling high-resolution video (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) to be sent up to 500 meters using standard LC duplex multimode fiber optic cables. A key consideration is that the necessary fiber optic cables are not included with the package.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of DVI cable does this extender use?
This extender uses DVI-D Single Link signals. You will need DVI-D Single Link cables to connect your source and display devices to the extender modules.
Are the fiber optic cables included?
No, the LC Duplex Multimode fiber optic cables required to connect the transmitter and receiver modules are not included in the package. These must be purchased separately.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The extender supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 60Hz.
How far can I send the DVI-D signal?
You can extend DVI-D signals up to a maximum distance of 500 meters using standard LC Duplex Multimode fiber optic cables.
Does this extender support HDCP?
Yes, the Lindy 500m Fibre Optic DVI-D Extender is HDCP compliant.
How is the transmitter powered?
The transmitter unit is powered via the DVI connection from the source device. The receiver unit requires external power, and a multi-country power supply is included.
What is the physical size of the modules?
Both the transmitter and receiver modules are compact, measuring 40mm (Width) x 70mm (Depth) x 15mm (Height).
Troubleshooting
No video signal displayed on the receiver unit.
Verify that the DVI-D cables are securely connected to both the source/display and the extender modules. Ensure the fiber optic cable is properly connected between the transmitter and receiver. Check that the receiver unit is powered on by confirming the power LED is lit. Confirm the source device is outputting a DVI-D signal at a supported resolution. Try a different DVI-D cable or fiber optic cable.
Flickering or distorted video.
This can often be caused by a poor connection. Reseat all DVI and fiber optic cables. Ensure the fiber optic cable is not damaged and is the correct type (LC Duplex Multimode 50/125µm). If the issue persists, try a different, known-good fiber optic cable.
Receiver unit not powering on.
Confirm the power adapter is securely connected to the receiver unit and the wall outlet. Test the power outlet with another device. Ensure the correct power adapter is being used (5VDC 1A).
System works at shorter distances but fails at 500m.
The maximum distance is highly dependent on the quality and specifications of the fiber optic cable used. Ensure you are using a high-quality LC Duplex Multimode 50/125µm cable rated for the required distance. Older or lower-quality cables may not achieve the full 500m range.
