LINDY CAT5e/6 DVI Extender, 30m,38300

LINDY CAT5e/6 DVI Extender 30m (Model 38300)

The LINDY CAT5e/6 DVI Extender is a high‑performance video transmission solution that allows you to extend a single‑link DVI‑D signal over standard Ethernet cabling. Designed for both professional and home environments, this extender delivers crystal‑clear images up to the maximum resolution of 1920x1200, ensuring that your displays remain sharp even at long distances.

Key Features

• Extender Length: Supports cable runs from 30 m to 70 m (depending on the model variant), making it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, and office spaces where displays are far from the source.
• Connector Compatibility: Equipped with a male/female DVI‑D connector pair, allowing seamless integration with standard DVI‑D sources (graphics cards, laptops) and monitors.
• Network Cable Support: Works over both Cat5e and Cat6 twisted‑pair Ethernet cables. The extender is compatible with UTP or STP cabling, providing flexibility in existing infrastructure.
• Gold‑Plated Contacts: All connectors feature gold plating to reduce signal loss and improve durability against corrosion.
• Maximum Resolution: Capable of transmitting up to 1920x1200 pixels without degradation, supporting high‑definition displays and detailed graphics work.
• Power Supply: The extender is powered via a standard USB connection (included), eliminating the need for additional power outlets along the cable run.
• Compact Design: Each unit measures only a few centimeters, making it easy to mount near the source or display without occupying valuable space.

Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

Setting up the LINDY extender is straightforward:

1. Connect the source device to the male DVI‑D port on the transmitter unit.
2. Run a Cat5e/Cat6 cable from the transmitter to the receiver, ensuring that the cable length does not exceed the specified maximum (30 m or 70 m).
3. Attach the receiver unit to the display using the female DVI‑D port.
4. Power both units via USB; a standard USB cable can be connected to any available USB port on your computer or a dedicated USB power adapter.
5. Configure settings if necessary (some models allow adjustment of signal parameters through a small menu accessed via the USB interface).

Use Cases

• Conference Rooms: Extend high‑definition presentations from a laptop to a large monitor without running bulky video cables.
• Classrooms & Training Centers: Connect a teacher’s computer to multiple displays spread across the room, improving visibility for all students.
• Office Environments: Provide remote workstations with access to high‑resolution monitors located far from the main server or workstation.
• Digital Signage: Deploy signage solutions in large venues where power outlets are scarce but Ethernet infrastructure exists.

Performance Highlights

The extender’s design ensures minimal latency and signal distortion, even over the longest supported cable runs. Users report consistent image quality with no flicker or color loss, making it suitable for critical applications such as graphic design, video editing, and real‑time data visualization.

Compatibility Summary

The LINDY CAT5e/6 DVI Extender is fully compatible with:

• All standard DVI‑D sources (graphics cards, laptops, projectors).
• Monitors and displays that accept a DVI‑D input.
• Existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling infrastructure, whether UTP or STP.
• USB power supplies ranging from 5 V/500 mA to 5 V/2 A (depending on the unit).

Conclusion

The LINDY CAT5e/6 DVI Extender (Model 38300) offers a reliable, high‑quality solution for extending single‑link DVI signals over long distances.
