User Manual
DPFX-200-TR
Welcome!
Congratulations on your purchase of the two (2) fibers DisplayPort extender, DPFX-200-TR. This manual contains information that will assist you in installing and operating the product.
Product Description
New compact optical DisplayPort extender, DPFX-200-TR enables to the
transmission of 4K (4096×2160) at 60Hz signal up to 200m (656feet), avoiding
any tricks like scaling or data compression for lessening the burden of data
transmission. It provides total data throughput 21.6Gbps (5.4Gbps per lane).
The OM3 fiber connection by two (2) LC fibers connector between transmitter
and receiver, gives clean, secure, and easy installation with perfect
electrical isolation, but without electrical hazard and interference. The
DPFX-200-TR can be operated by either USB power by plugging the USB cable or
3.3V from pin #20 of the DisplayPort interface.
System Requirements for Setup
Hardware requirements
- You must have a DisplayPort source and display. It should support the maximum graphic resolution feature of displays to be connected.
- No special requirements for memory size, CPU speed, and chipsets, if you’ve already properly installed your DisplayPort systems or graphic cards.
- A proper initial trial of the entire platform with its application using a short-length copper cable is recommended prior to installation with the optical link.
Software requirements
- No special restrictions, if you’ve already properly installed your DisplayPort systems.
Power Technical Advisory
- Enclosed Power Adaptors and USB cables supply power to both Transmitter and Receiver.
Connection Advisory
- It is highly recommended that the DisplayPort source is directly connected to DisplayPort display output via DPFX-200-TR without connection to the incompatible distributor, switcher, and selector.
The Shipping Group of DPFX-200-TR;
- One (1) Transmitter (Tx) and One (1) Receiver (Rx)
- Two (2) DC +5V,1A power adapters
- One (1) 0.2m Male to Female DisplayPort copper cable
- Two (2) Micro USB to USB cables
- User Manual
※ Default connection is a direct connection on both Source (Tx side) and
Display (Rx side)
※ If a direct connection is impracticable, 0.2m DisplayPort copper cable is
strongly recommended to use on Tx(Source) side only.
Installation
Important: Please keep the installation procedure below. Failure in operation
may result if the start-up sequence is not correctly followed.
Step 1
Carefully unpack the contents in the shipping group.
Step 2
Power on the DisplayPort source and display. Both the transmitter and receiver
will be turned on by 3.3V from pin #20 of the DisplayPort interface. The USB
power is recommended for a stable power supply for both the transmitter and
receiver.
Step 3
The Power LED will be turned on when DPFX-200-TR is connected to the
DisplayPort interface of the signal source and display and the Status LED will
blink three (3) times.
Then the Status LED will blink again when the whole connection is made.
Step 4
Connect two (2) LC optical fibers between the transmitter and the receiver and
each fiber channel shall be connected as (A) to (A) and (B) to (B) carefully.
Ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged and then, the top LED will
begin to blink regularly.
Note1: Please DO NOT look directly into the LC receptacles of the
Transmitter when it is powered on. Although this product is regulated strictly
enough to operate under the LASER Class I, classified by CDRH/FDA for eye
safety, it is not recommended to do so.
Note2: The maximum extension length by OM3 fiber is 200 meters (656ft.).
Note3: It is recommended NOT to use any intermediate cable or adapter
between them to avoid undesirable performance degradation.
Step 5
Connect the transmitter to the DisplayPort source
Step 6
Connect the receiver to the DisplayPort display.
Note: If the connectors are fully engaged, the bottom LED will turn on.
Step 7
If the system does not work properly, go to pages 1-5 for troubleshooting.
Connection with DPAX
Optics DisplayPort Data Recovery Repeater, DPAX, is an active repeater for
DisplayPort video signal to increase video transmission.
By using PAX, DPFX-200 can extend its total transmission length even longer.
DPAX can be connected to any side of DPFX-200, however, to connect on the TX
side of DPFX-200, a customized copper cable has to be used.
DPAX can improve the transmission length of DPFX-200 via optical fiber. It has
been confirmed that DisplayPort signal transmission length has improved up to
300m when using DPFX-200 with DPAX under certain environments such as the
below configuration.
Every 200m and 300m of DisplayPort signal transmission has been successfully
tested when using GTX960 as a display source and ASUS PA328Q as a display.
Troubleshooting
The display shows a black screen.
– Ensure that all plugs and jacks used by USB power supplies are firmly
connected.
– Ensure that the LED is ON.
– Ensure that the DisplayPort is firmly plugged into the DisplayPort source
and display.
– Ensure that the transmitter and receiver modules are plugged correctly into
the source and display, respectively.
– Check if the DisplayPort source and display are powered on and properly
booted.
– Reset the system by de-plugging and re-plugging the transmitter DisplayPort
or receiver DisplayPort, or by de-plugging and re-plugging the USB power
cables that are plugged into the transmitter and receiver module
– Reboot the system while connecting the module.
The screen is distorted or has noises.
– Check if the graphic resolution is properly set. Go to the display
properties and tap the settings. Ensure that the resolution sets less than
WQUXGA (3840×2400) at 60Hz refresh ratio.
– Reset the system
– Power down, disconnect and reconnect the optical system cable or USB power
adaptors, and power up.
Maintenance
No special maintenance is required for the optical system cables and power
supplies. Ensure that the cables and power modules are stored or used in a
benign environment free from liquid or dirt contamination.
There are no user-serviceable parts. Refer all service and repair issues to
Opticis or its authorized distributor.
