How to install Gefen Small Fiber Optic Pigtail Module Extends DVI up to 1000 feet

To achieve the best results, plan your installation with careful attention to fiber routing and device placement. Follow these steps to install the Gefen fiber optic DVI pigtail module and maximize performance across long distances:

  • Step 1: Plan the path. Map out the route from the video source to the display, selecting a fiber-friendly path that minimizes bends, kinks, and potential stress points. Avoid tight radii and ensure the fiber can be routed securely within racks or conduit.
  • Step 2: Prepare the fiber. Confirm you have a single-strand 50/125 µm OM2 multimode fiber with SC termination. Inspect the fiber ends for cleanliness, and keep connector ends protected until you’re ready to connect.
  • Step 3: Connect the DVI source to the module. Attach the DVI output from your video source to the appropriate port on the Gefen pigtail module. Ensure a snug, secure connection to prevent signal loss.
  • Step 4: Route and connect the fiber. Insert the SC-terminated fiber into the fiber port of the pigtail module, securing it to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the fiber along the planned path, preserving bend radii and avoiding excessive tension.
  • Step 5: Connect the display side. At the receiving end, connect the other module or end of the fiber run to the display’s corresponding DVI input. Verify the DVI connection at the display and ensure HDCP is enabled if required for your content.
  • Step 6: Power up and test. Power on the source and display, then verify that the video is clean, stabilizes correctly at the desired resolutions, and that HDCP content plays without interruption. If you encounter artifacts, recheck fiber connections and routing for any bends or dust on connectors.
