QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
Follow these steps to install the extender:
1. If you have the fiber models, install the SFPs in the transmitter and receiver. Compatible SFPs from Black Box are listed in the table
below.
COMPATIBLE SFP MODULES
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION DISTANCE
1-GBPS CONNECTIONS
LFP411 SFP 1250-Mbps, 850-nm Multimode Fiber, LC 550 m
LFP413 SFP 1250-Mbps, 1310-nm Single-mode Fiber, LC 10 km
LFP415 SFP 1250-Mbps, Extended Diagnostics, 1000BASE-T, SerDes Interface, RJ-45 100 m
NOTE: Black Box extenders will also support generic SFP modules.
2. Connect the video source to the Transmitter (Computer Unit).
3. Connect the monitor to the Receiver unit.
4. Use CATx cables (EIA/TIA 568B industry standard compliant) or fiber cables for connection between Transmitter/Receiver and
Gigabit LAN Switch.
5. Apply the proper power to all connecting devices.
NOTES:
a. We recommend using the highest quality materials (cables, SFP, etc.) to ensure optimal transmission quality.
b. If the screen does not display when you connect the computer:
1. Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached.
2. Set your display device’s (TV, monitor, etc.) input source as DVI.
3. Check the PC BIOS configuration of the video output setting.
4. Connect your video source to the Display DIRECTLY to check if the video signal gets through.
