HDMI 4K/60p Fiber Optic Extender, 1x LC
Model No: DVI-7318
Rugged, compact extender that supports HDMI 4K /60p (4:4:4), HDCP, EDID and 8-channel audio over one multimode fiber. Range: up to 300 m (~ 1,000 ft).
Key Features
- Supports HDMI v2.0 (HDCP compliant)
- Supports resolutions up to 4K (UHD): 3840x2160 /60p (4:4:4)
- Extends signals over a single strand of LC-terminated Multi-Mode optical fiber
- Maximum extension distance is 1,000 ft. (~ 300 m) using OM3 Multi-Mode fiber
- Supports HDCP and EDID pass-through communications, as well as cached EDID
- Optical fiber transmission is immune to environmental signal noise
- Low RFI / EMI profile for sensitive applications
- The Transmitter and Receiver units may be powered from most USB ports using an optional adapter cable
- Rugged, heavy-duty metal case with tie-strap fixation inlets
Unsurpassed Performance — The DVI-7318 is a high performance 4K/60p Optical Extender that transmits high resolution HDMI signals over long distances using a single fiber optic cable. It supports HDMI v2.0 signals (with or without HDCP) with resolutions up to 3840x2160 /60p (4:4:4) over cable distances of up to 1,000 ft. (~ 300 meters).
Fiber Optic Extension — The extender uses Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM) to enable all signals to travel over a single strand of optical fiber. The extender set consists of an optical transmitter module that converts the HDMI signals into light pulses for transmission over a fiber optic cable. An optical receiver module converts the light pulses back to an HDMI signal for display on a monitor or projector.
Multiple Signals Over One Cable — While the video signal pathway is one-way, the unit also supports extension of bidirectional DDC signals without the need for additional cables. This enables "live" EDID and HDCP communications between the connected source and display. These features make the DVI-7318 the ideal future-proof choice for systems designers and integrators who need to send high resolution HDMI signals over long distances.
