Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Multi DVI System extends DVI video signals over CAT5/5e/6 cable. All models
support single-link DVI video modes.
This manual covers Multi DVI System units for video (AC1100A, AC1102A,
AC1103A, AC1104A, AC1105A, and AC1106A).
Multi DVI System transmitters (AC1100A, AC1103A) and receivers (AC1102A,
AC1104A) are available with single or dual daisychainable connections. The dual
daisychainable receiver is used when the same signal is distributed to multiple dis-
play devices across a single cable in a daisychain or loopthrough fashion. Setup
and cabling are the same as the single-port receiver.
To convert a transmitter/receiver for extending over fiber instead of CATx, also
order a fiber module set:
• Multi DVI-D Multimode Duplex Fiber Module Set, Transmitter/Receiver Pair, LC
(AC1105A)
• Multi DVI-D Single-Mode Simplex Fiber Module Set, Transmitter/Receiver Pair,
LC (AC1106A)
WARNING: This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet fiber network. Do not connect these devices to
any sort of networking or telecommunications equipment!
