INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Gefen HD Extender 1FO.
Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to install and simple to operate.
The Gefen HD Extender 1FO
The HDMI fiber optic pigtail module extender with HDCP support extends HDMI
up to 1000 feet (300 meters) using a single-strand 50/125μm multimode (OM2)
SC-terminated fiber optic cable. It supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and
HD lossless audio formats like LCPM 7.1 audio, Dolby® Digital Plus, Dolby®
TrueHD, and DTS-HD® Master Audio™. Optical signal transmission provides
galvanic isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to
similar copper based extension modules. The pigtail design of the Sender and
Receiver modules relieves stress and clutter on the source and display
connector panels. Their compact design makes them ideal for fitting neatly
behind equipment for a clean installation, making it a great way to easily extend
HDMI.
How It Works
The Sender pigtail end plugs into the HDMI source. The Receiver pigtail end
plugs into the HDTV display. Connect a single-strand 50/125μm multimode
(OM2) SC-terminated fiber optic cable from the Sender to the Receiver module.
Plug the power supply into the Receiver module and a vibrant Hi-Def picture will
appear on your display.

OPERATION NOTES
PLEASE READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HD EXTENDER 1FO
•
In most situations, the Sender pigtail module does not need to be externally
powered unless the source does not supply enough power through the
HDMI connector. If the Sender requires a separate power supply only use
Gefen part no. EXT-PS52AIP-1.3. Using a different power supply other
than the recommended type may cause fatal damage to the Sender pigtail
module.

OPERATING THE HD EXTENDER 1FO
Power Indicators
The power indicators on both the Sender and Receiver modules of the HD
Extender 1FO provide information about the current power state.
Normal operation
If the power indicator on both the Sender and Receiver module glows bright
green, then both the Sender and Receiver module have sufficient power.

No power / insufficient power on the Sender module
If the Hi-Def source is unable to supply the required 5V to the Sender module,
then the power indicator on the Sender module will flash bright green. If this is
the case, then connect a secondary 5V DC power supply to the power receptacle
on the Sender module (use Gefen part no. EXT-PS52AIP-1.3).
