DVI-D Single Link Extender Lindy 70m Cat.6

The Lindy DVI-D Single Link Extender allows extending a DVI-D video source to a DVI display over economical Cat.5e/6 UTP cable up to 70 m. The kit uses slim RJ45 connectors and compact cabling to provide a flexible alternative to bulky DVI cables. The transmitter normally operates without external power, but includes the option to connect external power via a USB Micro-B cable or the supplied USB-to-DC cable when the graphics source cannot supply enough power.

Advantages

This extender supports single-link DVI-D signals over long distances using common Cat.5e/6 cable, reducing cable cost and bulk compared with long DVI leads. Slim RJ45 connectors simplify routing in tight spaces. No external power is normally required, while the transmitter accepts optional USB power for compatibility with graphics outputs that provide limited power.

Suitable for

• Extending a DVI-D connection between PC/workstation and monitor up to 70 m
• Digital signage and display installations where long cable runs are needed
• Environments with limited cable routing space where slim RJ45 termination helps

How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the DVI-D output of the source and the receiver unit to the DVI-D input of the display. Use a single Cat.5e or Cat.6 UTP patch cable between the RJ45 ports of the transmitter and receiver. If the display or graphics card does not provide sufficient power to the transmitter, connect a USB Micro-B cable or the supplied USB-to-DC cable to an external USB power source.

Usage recommendations

For best results use Cat.6 UTP cable and keep cable runs within the stated maximum distances for your required resolution. Avoid using damaged or poorly terminated RJ45 patch cables to maintain signal integrity.
