Painless, reliable DVI extension over fiber -- with built-in DVI-to-fiber signal converters and EDID storage, all in a tiny form factor!

The Gefen  FM500  DVI Fiber Optic Extender allows DVI signal to be extended up to 5000 feet (1.5 km) away.  This extender is the ideal for installations where a DVI source and display are located apart from each other in an interference-prone operating environment. Two strands of LC-terminated fiber optic cable provides maximum extension and provides excellent protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI), and preserving signal integrity. The automatic  EDID programming feature enables quick and correct synchronization of the video source to the display without any manual configuration needed. This allows rapid recovery of picture upon display power up or when used in conjunction with Switchers and Matrixes.
