The principle is simple: At the transmitter (PC), the signal is converted from electrical to optical. It is transmitted over a glass fibre, and retransformed into a electrical signal at the receiver (e.g. display).
Mechanical switches and splitter cannot be used for the high-frequency DVI-Signals. Degradation of the signal quality (flanks, crosstalk) and the level (conclusion) are the consequence. Only an active distribution or an active Switch is an adequate solution for this task.
| Typ | Description | |
![]() |
DVI | Digital optical transmission stretch for DVI-signals from PC to monitor: The monitor can be distant to the PC up to 500m. |
![]() |
HDMI | Digital optical transmission range for HDMI-signals from the processor to the display. The monitor can be displaced up to 100m to the processor. Perfect for HDTV too - the resolution can be up 1080p at 36 bits colour depth. |
![]() |
DisplayPort | With the Long distance DisplayPort cables from Opticis a display can be operated up to a distance of 2km from the video source. |
![]() |
USB | Optical USB-extension. Expands the maximum lenght of a USB link from 5m up to 50m. If 50m are not enough or several USB devices at the device end are connected to a hub you can find more information at icron. |
![]() |
Multi-Link | Digital transmission link for DVI-, USB- and audio signals from computer/settop box/multimedia device to display or TV. Suitable as an KVM-Extender as well. |
![]() |
Firewire | The optical firewire repeater meets the IEEE1394.b standard and extends the range of a firewire connection up to 500m. |
![]() |
VCSEL Transceiver | The Opticis VCSEL transceivers work with Gigabit Ethernet/InfiniBand (1.25Gbps/2.5Gbps) and Fibre Channel (1.06Gbps/2.125Gbps). They are fitted with SC/LC connectors. VCSELs and PIN photo diodes are manufactured on the own semiconductor line. |

![]() |
Splitter | A Splitter channels the Input Signal to several drains. Example: A processor with DVI-Output triggers several displays with the same content at the same time. |
![]() |
Splitter (optisch) | These optical splitters have the same function as described above, however these ones splitts an optical signal from a fiber cable into several optical outputs. |
![]() |
Schalter | The Selector connects different sources with da drain. Example: A flatscreen can be triggered by a DVD-Player or a satellite receiver. |
![]() |
SDI Matrix Router | The Matrix Router leads the signals of several sources to several drains. Example: The signals of several DVD-Player can be switched optionally to several Screens. |
![]() |
DVI Matrix Router | The Matrix Router leads the signals of several sources to several drains. Example: The signals of several DVD-Player can be switched optionally to several Screens. |
![]() |
HDMI Matrix Router | The Matrix Router leads the signals of several sources to several drains. Example: The signals of several DVD-Player can be switched optionally to several Screens. |
