The Gefen DVI•1500 allows a single link video signal to be extended over long
distances by using a multimode with LC termination. Fiber Optics technology
allows the DVI•1500 to carry video signals over long distances that would not be
possible with traditional CAT5 extension. The use of fiber optic cabling protects
the video signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can degrade the
video signal.
How It Works
The DVI•1500S sender unit sits next to your computer, set-top box or DVD player
source. Cables supplied with the DVI•1500 connect your DVI source to the send
unit. The DVI•1500R receive unit sits next to your DVI display - up to 1640 feet
(330 feet with HDCP) away. The display plugs into the back of the DVI•1500R
receiver unit. One CAT-5 cable and a multimode LC-LC fiber optic cable (4
strand) connect the DVI•1500S and the DVI•1500R units to each other.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE DVI 1500
• 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cable is required for operation of the
DVI 1500.
• Maximum extension range of 330 feet (100 meters) when the source
requires HDCP. One CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT6 cable is used to transmit DDC
and HDCP data back to the source.
• Maximum range of 1640 feet (500 meters) when the source does not require
HDCP. This scenario does not require the CAT-5, CAT5e or CAT-6 cable if
the source does not require DDC information. If DDC is required, the use of
an EDID storage device (part# EXT-DVI-EDIDN, EXT-DVI-EDIDP) can be
used to transmit DDC information back to the source.
• HDCP compliant
• Compatible with all DVI and HDMI* displays.
NOTE: *When used with a HDMI to DVI adapter

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE DVI 1500
How To Connect The DVI 1500
1. Connect the DVI source device to the DVI 1500 sender unit using the supplied
DVI cable.
2. Connect a user supplied CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable to the sender unit.
3. Connect four user supplied multi-mode LC-LC terminated fiber optic cables
into the DVI 1500 sender unit.
NOTE: 50 or 62.5 micron multi-mode fiber optic cable is required for correct
operation.
4. Connect the other end of the CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable into the DVI
1500 receiver unit.
5. Connect the other ends of all four multi-mode LC-LC terminated fiber optic
cables into the DVI 1500 receiver unit.
NOTE: Please take careful note of the labeling above each fiber optic port on
both the sending and receiving DVI 1500 units. The most common user error is
to mis-match the fiber optic cable connections on each end, which results in no
video being transmitted.\
6. Connect the included 5V DC power supplies into both sender and receiver.
7. Power on the display, then the source.
No further adjustments are necessary to operate the DVI 1500.

Gefen has specifically engineered their products to work with the TIA/EIA-568-B
specification. Please adhere to the table below when field terminating cable for
use with Gefen products. Failure to do so may produce unexpected results and
reduced performance.
CAT-5, CAT-5e, and CAT-6 cabling comes in stranded and solid core types.
Gefen recommends using solid core cabling. CAT-6 cable is also recommended
for best results.
Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No splices
or use of punch down blocks.
