Product Information
Full details
This Lindy DVI-D extender is designed for users needing to transmit DVI-D video signals over long distances using readily available Cat.5e/6 network cables. Its primary benefit is enabling flexible, extended connections up to 70 meters, ideal for installations where traditional DVI cables are impractical due to size or length limitations. A key caveat is that HDCP is not supported. The extender supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 50m, and lower resolutions at greater distances, with options for external power if needed.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum distance this extender can support?
The maximum distance is 70 meters, but this depends on the resolution. It supports 800x600 at 70m, 1024x768 at 65m, and resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 50m.
Do I need to buy a network cable separately?
Yes, the Cat.5e/6 network cable required to connect the transmitter and receiver units is not included with the product.
Does this extender support HDCP?
No, this Lindy DVI-D extender does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
Can I use Cat.5e cable?
Yes, you can use Cat.5e cable, but for lengths over 15 meters, Cat.6 is recommended for better performance and signal integrity.
When do I need to use external power?
External power is recommended or required if the DVI source device (like a computer's graphics card) does not provide enough power to the transmitter unit for stable operation. This is often the case for longer cable runs or higher resolutions.
What is included in the package?
The package includes the Transmitter Unit, the Receiver Unit, and a Lindy Manual.
What kind of DVI connector does this use?
This extender uses DVI-D Single Link connectors. It is not compatible with DVI-A or DVI-I signals that include analog components.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
No video signal is displayed
Verify that all DVI-D cables are securely connected to both source and display devices, and to the transmitter and receiver units. Ensure the network cable is properly terminated and functioning. Check if external power is connected to the transmitter unit, especially if the source device has low power output. Confirm that the resolution and distance settings are within the supported limits for the extender. Verify the source device is outputting DVI-D and that HDCP is not causing an issue.
Flickering or poor image quality
Ensure a high-quality Cat.5e/6 UTP cable is used, especially for runs over 15 meters (solid core recommended). Try a shorter network cable if possible to rule out cable issues. Check and secure all DVI-D cable connections. If the problem persists, connect external power to the transmitter unit to ensure stable power delivery.
Display shows incorrect resolution or aspect ratio
Confirm the resolution output by the source device is supported by the extender at the current transmission distance. Adjust the resolution settings on the source device to a supported value. Ensure the DVI-D cables are correctly seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends DVI-D signal significantly using common network cables.
- Supports high resolutions up to 1920x1200.
- Compact RJ45 connectors improve cable management and routing.
- Optional external power provides flexibility for different source devices.
- Cost-effective solution compared to long DVI cables.
Cons
- HDCP is not supported.
- Requires separate purchase of Cat.5e/6 network cable.
- Maximum supported distance decreases with higher resolutions.
- External power may be required for optimal performance with some sources.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the DVI-D source device to the Transmitter Unit using a standard DVI-D cable (not included).
- Connect the Receiver Unit to the DVI-D display device (monitor, projector) using a standard DVI-D cable (not included).
- Connect the Transmitter Unit and the Receiver Unit using a single Cat.5e or Cat.6 network cable (not included). Ensure the cable is no longer than 70 meters.
- For optimal performance, especially with longer runs or higher resolutions, consider connecting external power to the Transmitter Unit via the USB Micro-B port. This can be done using a standard USB charger or by connecting it to a powered USB port on your source device.
Compatibility:
- Source Devices: Compatible with any device outputting a DVI-D Single Link signal.
- Display Devices: Compatible with any display accepting a DVI-D Single Link input.
- Cables: Requires DVI-D Single Link cables for source and display connections, and a Cat.5e or Cat.6 UTP network cable for extension.
- Resolution Dependent: Performance and maximum distance vary by resolution. See product details for specific limits.
- HDCP Not Supported: This extender will not work with content protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
Care:
- Keep the units in a clean, dry environment.
- Avoid exposing the units to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Gently clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure but not overtightened.
