Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation guidelines:
• Only use in dry, indoor environments.
• If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the Local and Remote units is on the same phase.
• Ensure that the system connected to the Local unit is connected to power ground.
• Ensure that the monitor connected to the Remote unit is connected to power ground and does not use an isolated power supply.
• The Remote unit, Local unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not locate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.
• Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.
• Do not obstruct a unit’s ventilation holes.
To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible damage to equipment or property, please
observe the following:
• Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or manufacturer-approved
replacements. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not use a power supply if
it appears to be defective or has a damaged case.
• Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure that the ground connection is
maintained from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC power input.
• Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make a connection from the Fiber link interface
(LC) to any other products, especially telecommunications or network equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Optical Models
These are Class 1 Laser products. Singlemode transceivers comply with IEC 60825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11. To meet laser safety
requirements, the transceivers shall be operated within the absolute maximum ratings.
The use of optical instruments with this product may cause an eye hazard. All adjustments have been
made at the factory prior to shipment of the device. No maintenance or alteration to the device is
required.
Tampering with or modifying the performance of the device will result in voided product warranty.
Usage Restrictions
Optical ports must be terminated with an optical connector or with a dust plug. Failure to adhere to the above restrictions could result in a modification
that is considered an act of “manufacturing” and will require, under law, recertification of the modified product with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (ref. 21 CFR 1040.10(i)).

QUICK SETUP
This section briefly describes how to install your Cheetah V5 system and optimize the video signals. Unless you are an experienced user, we recommend
that you follow the full procedures described in the rest of this manual. Refer to the command summary on page 9 when following this procedure.
Install system
1. Connect Remote unit (RX) to source.
2. Connect Local unit (TX) to CPU or switch.
3. Connect Local and Remote units with matching interconnection cable
(Singlemode fiber).
4. Power up the system.

VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If possible, always use DVI output from your computer’s video card and DVI input to a monitor. This provides the optimum video signal. If you use a
VGA output from your graphic source, the DVI Local unit must digitize the signal prior to transmission. Similarly, if your remote TFT screen uses a
VGA input, it must digitize the signal from the Remote unit. In both cases, the built-in video processors must determine the resolution and pixel phase for
an optimized digitization. Your DVI Extender allows you to optimize the video signal manually or automatically using its on-screen utility (see Chapter
4). If you are using a VGA input to a TFT monitor, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
You may have several possible options for video source output/monitor input. If this is the case, for the optimum video quality, please select the highest
ranked available combination from the following table:
Video Quality Local Unit input Remote Unit output
1 DVI DVI
2 DVI VGA
3 VGA DVI
4 VGA VGA

OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
A basic Cheetah V5 system comprises a Local unit (transmitter) and a Remote unit (receiver). The Local unit connects directly to the computer using the
supplied cable(s). The user console (monitor) attaches to the Remote unit. The Remote and Local units communicate video information along the
interconnecting cable (see Figure 1). Local units offer dual access, allowing the connection of a second user console close to the computer. With the
optional V5A2 models, you can also use the Cheetah V5 units to communicate stereo audio.
Cheetah V5 modules enable high-resolution video and optional stereo audio to be communicated up to:
• 1200ft (400m) over Multimode fiber cable (50/125µ).
• 600ft (200m) over Multimode fiber cable (62.5/125µ).
• 6¼ miles (10km) over Singlemode fiber cable (9/125µ).
In a digital application (DVI input and output), there is no loss of picture quality irrespective of extension distance and no adjustments are required. The
Cheetah V5 modules also support traditional analog VGA as well as digital DVI. All combinations of DVI and VGA (graphics cards and monitors) are
supported, allowing equipment to be mixed. In a mixed analog/digital application, some adjustment of the video signal is necessary to optimize the
analog-digital signal conversions. Cheetah V5 modules are equipped with various automatic and manual video correction tools in an on screen utility (see
page 20).
