3 Overview
The PS-1DVI is used to power DVI for Optical DVI Extension Cables
3
.
Optical DVI cables, such as the Kramer C-FODM/FODM-328, require a +5V
internal power supplied through a DVI pin (#14) from the graphic card. When
the computer system is incapable of supplying 500mA, the PS-1DVI provides
the power to the cable’s Tx/Rx modules.

Overview

The Kramer MultiTOOLS PS-1DVI DVI Power Supply:
 Allows you to join two DVI-D or DVI-I signal cables even when the
graphics card cannot supply the required power for the extension cables
 Powers devices upstream via a copper DVI cable
 Is compatible with either digital and/or analog signals
 Utilizes DUAL LINK technology, enabling high frequency signals up to
3Gbps, and therefore the switching of resolutions higher than UXGA
To achieve the best performance:
 Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer PS-1DVI
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
