Connection Diagram
Illustration depicting the connection setup: A computer (Source) is connected via DVI-D and RS-232 cables to the LDX Transmitter (TX) unit. The TX unit is linked to the LDX Receiver (RX) unit via a CAT5e/6 cable, extending the signal up to 245 feet. The RX unit then connects to an end-point device (e.g., monitor) using DVI-D and RS-232 cables. A legend indicates cable types and signal paths: DVI-D IN (purple), DVI-D OUT (red), RS232 IN (green), RS232 OUT (blue), and CAT5E/6 CABLE (orange).Unit Views
