050-205 PRODUCT BRIEF
DVI Copper to Fiber Media Converter
D38999 (Signal, Power, BIT), D38999 (Fiber Optic)
DVI Inline Copper to Fiber Media Converter
The Glenair 050-205 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-
205 is designed for harsh environments and incorporates electronics in an
environmentally sealed enclosure that incorporates three environmental D38999
connectors. Power, Signal I/O and BIT functionality is supplied through D38999
with a combination of Quadrax and #22D contacts. The Fiber Optics passes
through D38999 using ARINC 801 contact which can be configured to support
either single mode or multi-mode fiber applications.
