Modular Dual-Link DVI extension using a two-strand multimode fiber optic cable with Virtual EDID The Gefen FM2500 Modular Dual-link DVI Fiber Optic Extender allows DVI signal to be extended up to 3300 feet (1 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 50/125um laser-optimized multimode (OM3) SC-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.

1.Can this extender send dual-link DVI over fiber instead of copper?
A: Yes — the EXT-DVI-FM2500 extends dual-link DVI over two strands of multimode fiber optic cable.
2.What fiber type and connector does the kit use?
A: It uses laser-optimized 50/125µm multimode OM3 fiber and LC-type connectors.
3.How far can I run the fiber and are there different cable recommendations for shorter runs?
A: You can run up to 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) over OM3 two-strand fiber; for shorter runs Gefen recommends CAB-2LC-xxx OM1 fiber for 30–330 feet (9–100 meters).
4.Will the source see the display EDID automatically?
A: Yes — the unit provides Virtual EDID and automatic EDID programming to copy EDID from the display to the source.
5.Does using fiber help in EMI-prone installations?
A: Yes — fiber optic transmission eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI), protecting the signal in interference-prone environments.
6.Are the modules built for professional installations?
A: Yes — the sender and receiver are compact modules in sturdy metal die-cast enclosures intended for professional and industrial use.
7.Will this extender help the picture recover when a display powers up or when used with a switcher or matrix?
A: Yes — the automatic EDID programming and Virtual EDID let the source re-sync quickly when the display powers up or when using switchers and matrixes.
