1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction to the 500502
The DisplayPort 1.2a Fiber Extender Kit, 500502 enables the user to transmit WQUXGA
(3840x22400) video at 60Hz signal up to 330ft (100m), with any form of scaling or data
compression being applied to the signal. This device support a total data throughput of
21.6Gbps (5.4Gbps per lane).
The unit supports two (2) LC connectors and may be connected with OM3 multi-mode
fiber between the Transmitter and Receiver, providing a clean, secure and easy
installation with ideal electrical isolation, and immune to electrical hazard and
interference. The 500502 may be powered via USB power (with the included power
supply), or from the 3.3V supplied from pin #20 of the DisplayPort connector of the
source and display equipment. Note that if the source or display equipment does not
adequately supply this power on its DisplayPort connector, then the included power
supply must be used.

DisplayPort 1.2a Fiber Extender Kit.
2) No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed and chipsets are needed,
assuming the DisplayPort graphic controllers or cards have already been properly
installed.

3.2 Software requirements
No special restrictions, considering that the DisplayPort graphic controller and OS have
already been properly installed.
3.3 AC/DC Power Adapter (Technical Advisory)
The included power supply adaptors and USB cables can provide power to both the
Transmitter and Receiver. Although the DisplayPort interface of the source and sink
device typically provides 3.3VDC on pin #20 of the DisplayPort connector, the USB
power supply option is recommended as a more stable power source for both the
Transmitter and Receiver.
4. System Connection
4.1 Safety Precautions
This system should be installed in a clean environment with temperature and
humidity within the specified operating levels (see the specifications table).

4.3 Connection Procedure
a) Connect the Transmitter to the source equipment (such as the PC), and connect
the Receiver to the sink equipment (such as a display). Power on the DisplayPort
source and display. Both the Transmitter and Receiver will be turned on due to the
3.3V supplied by pin #20 of DisplayPort interface. Even though the units are being
powered, it is recommended that the USB Power Supplies be used as well as a
more stable power source for both the Transmitter and Receiver, since some
source and display equipment may not be capable of providing sufficient power.
b) The Power LED will illuminate when the 500502 is connected to the DisplayPort
interface of the source and display, and the Status LED will blink three (3) times.
After which the Status LED will blink again once a reliable link is established with
the end equipment.
c) Connect an LC terminated duplex optical fiber between the Transmitter and
Receiver, where each of the individual fibers are connected as (A) to (A) and (B) to
(B). Ensure the duplex connectors are fully inserted and the top LED will begin to
blink.

Note1: DO NOT look directly into the LC receptacles of the Transmitter, while it is
powered on, even though this product is strictly regulated to operate under
LASER Class I, classified by CDRH/FDA for eye safety.
Note2: Units support an extension distance up to 100m using OM3 multimode fiber.
Note3: Do not make use of any intermediate cable or adapter between these units or
between these units and the end equipment to avoid any undesirable
performance degradation.
a) Connect the Transmitter directly to the DisplayPort connector of the source
(Computer).
b) Connect the Receiver directly to the DisplayPort connector of the display.
c) These units should be connected together with a single length of duplex
multimode fiber cable, while ensuring that the optical LC connector
end-faces are clean.
d) To ensure proper connectivity, confirm that the Status LEDs on both the
Transmitter and Receiver are ON.

5. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
The following section describes some of the symptoms, probable causes and possible
solutions in regard to the installation of the 500502 DisplayPort 1.2a Fiber Extender Kit.
The display only shows a blank (black) screen.
- Ensure that the USB power supplies are firmly connected and that both Transmitter
and Receiver Power LEDs are ON.
- Ensure that the DisplayPort connectors are firmly plugged into the DisplayPort
connector of the computer and display.
- Ensure that the Transmitter and Receiver modules are plugged in the correct order
to the computer and display, respectively (reversing the order will not work).
- Check if the computer and display are powered on and properly booted.
- Ensure that the duplex fiber is properly inserted into both the Transmitter and
Receiver.
- Reset the system by disconnecting and reconnecting the Transmitter DisplayPort or
Receiver DisplayPort side units, or by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
power cables that are plugged in the Transmitter and Receiver modules.
- If necessary try to re-boot the system and re-connect the DisplayPort 1.2a Fiber
Extender Kit.
Screen is distorted or the display is noisy.
- Check if the graphic resolution is properly set. Go to the display properties of the
Operating System (such as Windows) and confirm the settings.
- Ensure that the resolution is set to within WQUXGA (3840x2400) at 60Hz refresh
ratio.
- Reset the system.
- Disconnect and reconnect the DisplayPort Fiber Extender Kit units or their power
supply adapters.
