The4800/4802 Seriesisa high performance,yet affordable, FiberOptic
DVI Extension System that is designed to carry one (1) DVI channel,
overlongdistancesthroughfour(4)multimodefibers(for4800Series)
orthroughtwo(2) multimode fibers (for 4802 Series).
No user adjustments are required in the 4800/4802 system due to the
useofadvanced digitalfiber optic transmission technology. Thisallows
foraquickandeasysetup,offeringtrouble-freeoperationformanyyears
to come. The 4800/4802 system transmits R, G, B, clock signals
separatelythroughfourindividualfibersandcansupportvideoresolution
uptoWUXGA (1920 x 1200) at 60Hz.
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) in a display can be
readandrestoredbyjustplugginginthetransmitter onceinto thedisplay.
This self EDID programming feature makes the installation of the

2.0 SETUP
2.1 Hardware Requirements
1. Graphicscontroller card or main board with a DVI port
in your PC, SUN, or Mac system. It should support
themaximumgraphic resolution feature of the display
to be connected.
2. No special memory size, CPU speed and chipsets is
required.
3. Properinitial bring-up of the entire platform with its OS
and application using a short length cooper cable is
recommendedpriorto bring-up with the optical link.
2.2 Software Requirements
Nospecial needs, iftheDVI graphics controlleranddisplay
peripheral are operational with the platform’s OS and
application.
2.3 AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory
The transmitter (TX) module of the 4800/4802 is
designed with a power protection circuit to prevent
power conflict between the external DC power adapter
and your graphics card through the DVI pin. An AC/DC
power adapter may be required, depending on power
supply capability of the graphics card +5V pin.
The receiver (RX) module should be supplied by an
AC/DC power adapter.
In general, most notebook PCs require using an AC/DC
poweradaptorforthe TX module.
