Why Fiber Optic?
SmartAVI has created a full line of ber optic extender
products, understanding that this technology is superior to
traditional cabling.
Fiber optic cables are:
• capable of transmitting over very long distances with
no signal loss.
• immune to electromagnetic interference. In situations
where there is considerable interference, ber optic
cabling is the only solution.
• much more secure because they cannot be easily
tapped. For this reason, military and law enforcement
agencies use ber optic cables for the transmission of
sensitive data.
• relatively inexpensive and small enough to be routed
through small spaces.

DDC provides plug-and-play capability to your
displays. When you plug a display into your
computer, the DDC table in the display tells the
computer the optimal resolution to use. In order
to preserve this plug-and-play capability, we have
integrated DDC learning into all of our DVI Solutions.
