Introduction
The FDX-500 is a perfect solution for extending the video and
audio output of a computer in a remote location. It extends DVI-D and
Stereo Audio to a remote location up to 1,500 feet away. The FDX-500
is immune to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for use in
situations where there is considerable interference. The FDX-500 is also
very secure because it’s ber optic signals cannot be easily tapped.

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.
