Wall Plate Miniature Multimode Fiber Optic DVI Transmission System
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Mini-DVI-WP Series is a high performance, low cost, miniature,
Fiber Optic DVI extender system designed specifically for wall plate installation. It carries one (1) unidirectional DVI video, together with
HDCP/DDC, through one (1) multimode fiber. This unique fiber optic transmission system lets your digital flat panel display extend up to
400m at WUXGA (1920x1200 @ 60Hz) resolution.
No user adjustment is required for the Mini-DVI-WP system due to the use of advanced digital fiber optic transmission system technology with zero compression and zero bit reduction. This allows for a quick and easy setup, offering trouble-free operation for many years to come. The
Mini-DVI-WP supports video resolution up to WUXGA
(1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz) or 1080p @ 60Hz HDTV video resolution. It supports in-wall +12VDC powering option.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the TX and RX view of the Mini-DVI-WP model.

2.0 SETUP
The BCI Mini-DVI-WP Series units are used in pairs. One
Mini-DVI-WP-T transmitter unit is located at the near-end and connected through one optical fiber, to the Mini-DVI-WP-R receiver located at the far-end of the link. Figure 2-1 depicts a typical installation for the
Mini-DVI-WP-T/R.

2.1 Mounting
Before installing the units into your wall plate housing, make sure there is enough space to pull and connect both the electrical and optical cables without stressing them beyond the manufacturer’s limitations (also known as the minimum bend radius).
2.2 Cabling and Connectors
In order to setup the BCI Mini-DVI-WP properly, make sure to observe the following instructions when installing the proper cables. The Mini-DVI-WP requires two parts to the cabling setup, the electrical and the optical.

2.2.2 Optical Fiber Connection
Most cable manufacturers identify individual fibers in the fiber cable. Select an appropriate terminated fiber. Each unit’s optical ports in the system are specified for use with SC-connectorized
Multimode (62.5/125 micron) fiber. Follow the ensuing instructions on installing and connecting the fiber optic links:
1.
Ensure the power is off before proceeding with the fiber optic cable installation.
2.
Prior to connecting the fiber optic cables, remove and save the dust caps from the optical port of both the Mini-DVI-WP units. Clean the fiber optic connector and use a lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol to thoroughly wipe the side and end of the ferrule.
3.
Connect the fiber from one unit to the other connecting the near end Mini-DVI-WP-T unit’s optical port to the far end of the Mini-DVI-WP-R unit’s optical RX port as illustrated in
Figure 2-3.

2.3 DC Power Connection
The standard option to connect a power source is a +12VDC, which is used when power source is farther away (see Figure 2-3). In order to make sure that you have a proper installation, please observe the following:
1.
Your AC jack has power.
2.
The 12VDC power supply is working.
3.
Your electrical system has proper grounding (this ensures that your power supply does not suffer from voltage variations).
4.
Power Surge Protection. This is optional, but highly recommended. A UPS system provides voltage regularity as well as prevents spikes from occurring, thus protecting your Mini-DVI-WP from sensitive voltage conditions.
The Mini-DVI-WP derives power from an external 12VDC power supply.
This power supply is a wall mounted AC/DC adapter, 100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz, at or 0.5A.
If you have any problems or concerns, regarding the installation, make sure that you have taken the proper steps to ensure a proper power connection. Otherwise, feel free to contact us for any questions you may have.
2.4 In-Wall Power/Fiber Wiring Instruction
The in-wall power/fiber installation for the Mini-DVI-WP wall plate must confirm national and local electrical codes, e.g., UL junction boxes shall be used and DC power source shall not exceed product rated range
(+12VDC @ 0.5A). Follow the following steps for power/fiber installation:
1.
As shown in Figure 2-4, feed both fiber and power cables through the opening of the wall box, and secure the cables with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

2.
Terminated fiber with SC optical connector to be directly plugged into the SC connector port of the Mini-DVI-WP units (see
Figure 2-3).
3.
Before connecting power wire to the Mini-DVI-WP unit, make
sure power supply is off. Prepare the Positive (+12V) and
Negative (GND) tip of the power wire as shown in Figure 2-5 to be directly plugged into the captive screw +12VDC connector of the Mini-DVI-WP units (see Figure 2-3). Make sure the polarity of the connection is correct. Insulate any exposed wire shields to prevent short circuits.

Power Connection
Note 1: During installation, the installer may need to connect the power supply output to an appropriate Listed NEC type cable before it is routed behind a wall. Simply routing the power supply output cable behind a wall will most likely not comply with applicable installation requirements. Unit should only be powered by a power source that is Listed (NEC) Class 2 or a Listed ITE Power
Supply marked/rated as LPS or Limited Power Source.
Note 2: The installation shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
Article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1,
Section 16.
Note 3: The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to the building structure or similar structures.
Note 4: The power supply shall not be located within environmental air handling spaces or within the wall cavity.
Note 5: The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the A/V processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution
Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium or desk.
