The compact DPextend module sits securely in the middle of the cable run, using full-sized, locking DisplayPort connectors, and intelligently boosts and equalises the DisplayPort signals to extend the cable length. Using high quality Datapath supplied DisplayPort cables, the DPextend can support 20m cables on both input and output ports, giving a cable reach of 40m for added flexibility in multi-screen system solutions.
The DPextend is entirely powered from the ImageDP4 graphics card output connectors, provided that Datapath DisplayPort cables are used. The DPextend also compensates for voltage losses in the cables to allow it to additionally forward power to a DPadapt module for ultimate conversion to DVI.
