Dual-DVI Copper to Fiber Media Converter
D38999 for Signal, Power and Expanded Beam Fiber Optics
Dual-DVI Copper to Fiber Media Converter with Expanded Beam Fiber Optics
The Glenair 050-210 Dual - Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Copper to Fiber Optic
Media Converter increases DVI operational link distance in harsh environments. It
allows both longer distance and more reliable communication on optical fibers in
ruggedized systems using DVI protocol between graphics cards and remote
displays. This media converter is configured as either transmitter, converting
electrical DVI signals to fiber, or as a receiver, converting fiber optic signals into
the electrical DVI signals. The media converter incorporates a power supply which
has been designed to accept a wide DC input voltage range, 18V to 36V. The 050-
210 is designed for harsh environments and incorporates electronics in an
environmentally sealed enclosure that incorporates three environmental D38999
connectors. Signal I/O and BIT functionality is supplied through one D38999
connector and power is provide through its own dedicated D38999 connector. The
Fiber Optics passes through D38999 using Eye-Beam contact which can be
configured to support either single mode or multi-mode fiber applications.
