DVIGear's Dual-Link ACE™ Active Cable Extender is a dynamic cable equalizer that performs high-speed cable compensation on long Dual-Link DVI cables. This unit provides up to 40 dB of insertion loss correction at 825 MHz, which correlates to the highest possible DVI signal resolutions. The amount of equalization can be automatically adjusted independent of cable length connected, or manually set using a precision 25-turn adjustment. Innovative features such as automatic power detection and high-speed ESD protection further enhance the usefulness of this unit in system applications.

When used in conjunction with DVIGear's Super High Resolution™ Dual-Link DVI cables, cable lengths of up to 200 ft. (~ 60 meters) are possible. The combination of these products form active cable assemblies that are fully compliant with DVI and HDMI standards, and which provide superior performance, ruggedness and durability.

Key Features:

  • Supports all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p (8-bit and 12-bit color)
  • Supports PC resolutions up to 3840x2400
