3 and 4. Connect each strand of the fiber optic cable to the corresponding number
on both the Tx and Rx units. Both the Tx and Rx units have a single DDC port.
Use a standard CAT5 cable of the appropriate length to link these two ports. Take
care that the CAT5 cable is not routed near any source of RFI/EMI interference,
such as high current AC power lines and/or AC motors or industrial machinery, as
these items may induce noise into the DDC signal line that can adversely affect the
product’s performance.

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the system fails to display a signal, power OFF all devices and check that the
following connections are properly installed:
• TheTxunitmustbeconnectedtotheSourcewiththesupplied0.5meter
HDMI cable. The Rx unit must be connected to the Display with the
supplied 0.5 meter HDMI cable.
• Allfour(4)strandsoftheberopticcablemustberoutedtoLCconnector
port with the corresponding number on both the Tx and Rx units. For
example, Strand #1 must be connected to Port 1 on both units; Strand #2
must be connected to Port 2, and so on.
• TheDDCportsontheTxandRxmustbeconnectedbyagoodquality
UTP CAT5 cable. This cable should be kept away from sources of high
RFI/EMI interference.
• TheExternalACPowerAdaptershouldbeconnectedtoeithertheRxor
the Tx unit. Check to ensure that the Power indicator LED is illuminated
on both units. If this is not the case, check or replace the UTP CAT5 cable
connected between the Tx and Rx units.
Once all connections have been verified, power ON the monitor first, then the
HDMI Fiber Optic Extender, and then finally the HDMI signal source.
If the system still fails to display an image, check to ensure that the HDMI signal
source is compatible with the display by making a direct connection between the
two so as to bypass the HDMI Fiber Optic Extender. If there is still no image then
there is a compatibility issue between the source and the display that must be
resolved.
