The Gefen DisplayPort Booster

Booster improves the reliability of HDCP and DPCP handshaking EDID transmission over long distances of copper cable.
How It Works
Connect a DisplayPort cable between the DisplayPort source and the Gefen
DisplayPort Booster input. Connect a short DisplayPort cable from the
DisplayPort Booster output to the display. Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the power receptacle on the DisplayPort Booster and connect the plug to an available electrical outlet.

OPERATING THE DISPLAYPORT BOOSTER
Signal Adjustment
The bottom of the DisplayPort Booster has a bank of DIP switches. These DIP switches are used for course adjustment of the signal, based on the resolution and distance.
Use the EQ trim-pot on the front of the DisplayPort Booster to fine-tune to the signal quality. Use the Arrow Indicator for positioning the EQ setting.
The default DIP switch settings: DIP1 = ON, DIP2 = ON.
