3 Overview  
The Kramer C-AFDM/AFDM Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable is a digital high-  
quality graphics interface between a DVI-D source (for example, a host processor  
video source) and a DVI-D acceptor (for example, a display panel). The C-  
AFDM/AFDM consists of a transmitter and a receiver, connected by all fiber  
optic distribution cables with male DVI-D connectors at each end. The C-  
AFDM/AFDM transmits both the graphic signal and display information  
(DDC/HDCP) over optic fiber, thus overcoming the limit of using copper cables  
for DDC.  
In addition, the C-AFDM/AFDM:  
ñ
ñ
Features a bandwidth of 1.65Gbps for each channel  
Supports all VESA resolutions up to WUXGA (1,920x1,200), at 60Hz  
refresh rate with 1 pixel/clock mode  
ñ
Has 8 fiber strands: four for DDC/HDCP interconnection and four for red,  
green, blue and clock transmission  
ñ
ñ
Extends up to 500 meters  
Does not emit any electromagnetic interference or emission on the cable,  
making it suitable for any medical or other EMI sensitive environment  
ñ
ñ
Electrically isolates the source from the acceptor  
Can use either DC power from the graphic card or AC/DC power from an  
external +5V adapter  
ñ
Requires no software installation

Overview  
Figure 1: Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable  
3.1 System Requirements for Setup (Hardware)  
You must have a DVI graphic source or card that:  
ñ
Has a DVI port (for example, in your PC, SUN or Mac system) supporting  
a DVI-D signal  
ñ
Supports the maximum graphic resolution of the display that you want to  
connect  
There are no special requirements regarding:  
ñ
The memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, if the DVI graphic controller  
or card is properly installed  
ñ
Software, if the DVI graphic controller or card is properly installed in  
your Operating System  
Note: The transmitter module of the Kramer Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable is  
designed to use +5V internal power supplied through a DVI pin (#14) from  
the graphic card. While the transmitter module may receive power from pin  
14, it also has the option of being powered via an external 5V power adapter.  
The receiver, however, requires an external +5V AC/DC power adapter.

ñ
Install the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable (see section 4.1)  
Avoid pitfalls when using it (see section 4.2)  
4.1 Installing Your Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable  
To connect the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable, do the following:  
1. Carefully remove your Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable from its packaging.  
2. Connect an AC/DC power adapter to the receiver module (see Figure 2)  
Figure 2: Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable – Receiver Module  
3. Plug the Transmitter module of the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable directly into  
the DVI receptacle of the computer.  
The Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable uses only the power +5V supplied through a  
DVI pin (#14) from the graphic card.  
Figure 3: Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable – Transmitter Module  
4. Plug the Receiver module of the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable into the DVI  
display receptacle.  
5. Turn ON the power on both the computer and the display device.  
You can replace any DVI cable or an Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable with  
another Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable by following the above procedures while  
the computer and display device are powered up.

Using Your Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable  
If the system does not work properly after the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable is  
installed, check that your computer system is capable of supplying more than  
200mA.  
6. If necessary, or if you prefer to do so, you can use the second AC/DC adapter,  
supplied with the cable, to power the transmitter.  
4.2 Avoiding Pitfalls using the Optical All-Fiber DVI Cable  
In the event that any of these problems occur, we recommend the following:  
If the display device shows only a black screen:  
ñ
Be sure that the DVI ports are firmly plugged into the computer and the  
display device  
ñ
Make sure that the Transmitter and Receiver modules are correctly  
plugged into the PC and display device, respectively  
ñ
ñ
Check if the PC and display are powered ON and properly booted  
Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the Transmitter DVI  
port or Receiver DVI port  
ñ
Reboot the system while connecting the optical DVI cable system  
If the screen is distorted or displays noises:  
ñ
ñ
ñ
Check if the graphics resolution is properly set  
Go to the Display Properties of Windows and tap the settings  
Be sure that the resolution is set for UXGA (1,600 x 1,200), WUXGA or less at  
60Hz refresh ratio  
ñ
ñ
Reset the system  
Disconnect and reconnect the optical DVI cables

Maintenance  
These cables contain sensitive fiber optic materials that can be damaged  
through rough handling.  
To properly sustain the system:  
ñ
ñ
ñ
Use caution during the installation and use of these cables to ensure that  
you do not damage them  
Do not install the cable in any environment where it is possible they could  
be stepped on, run over, pinched or crushed.  
Be sure that the cables are stored and used away from liquid or dirt
