DVIGear's Single-Link ACE™ Active Cable Extender is a dynamic cable equalizer that performs high-speed cable compensation on long DVI and HDMI cables. This unit provides up to 40 dB of insertion loss correction at 825 MHz, which covers every Single-Link DVI resolution: HDTV to 1080p in 8-bit and 12-bit color, and PC resolutions to 1920x1200 and 2048x1080, at data rates up to 2.25 Gbps. The amount of equalization can be automatically adjusted independent of cable length connected, or manually set using a precision 25-turn adjustment. Innovative features such as automatic power detection and high-speed ESD protection further enhance the usefulness of this unit in system applications.
When used in conjunction with DVIGear's Super High Resolution™ DVI and HDMI cables, cable lengths of up to 200 ft. (~ 60 meters) are possible. The combination of these products forms active cable assemblies that are fully compliant with DVI and HDMI standards, and which provide superior performance, ruggedness and durability.
