General Specification
• RF6 System is a revolutionary 19’’ 1-RU size rack mount assembly for DVI/HDMI fiber optic/CAT5
extension modules. Various transmitter and receiver modules are designed for slot-loading into the
RF6 main frame.
• Able to mix DVI/HDMI and Fiber Optic/CAT5 extension, RF6 features one power supply for
up to six modules per frame, eliminating a lot of small adapter type power supplies, housed in a
1 RU rack housing.
• Compact & durable design and lower power consumption makes it an ideal solution for connection
for high definition video/audio signal of digital displays such as LCD/Plasma/LED displays and
projectors.
• This pure fiber optic/CAT5 connection enables electrical noise free and EMI free that is ideal for
long distance/mid-range extension of high definition DVI/HDMI signals with audio.
• Intuitive LCD panel on both RF6 show the status of the video and audio signals including
the current signal image format and audio format. This information provides helpful diagnostic
information.

optic cables.
6. Mid-range (Up to 200ft at 1080i or lower signal) over cost effective RJ45 (CAT5/e/6) cables.
7. Full EDID Management
1) Built-in EDID library
Choose one from 14 pre-saved most widely used EDID
2) EDID Emulation
Saving/Emulating display’s EDID in the RF6T transmitter module enhances reliability
and compatibility with various displays.
8. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) Support.
