System Requirements for Setup
Welcome!
Congratulations on your purchase of the DisplayPort 1.2 Data Recovery
Repeater, DPAX. This manual contains information that will assist you in
installing and operating the product.
□
Hardware requirements
▪
You have to have a DisplayPort source and Display. It should
support the maximum graphic resolution feature of displays to
be connected.
▪
No special requirement of memory size, CPU speed and
chipsets, if you’ve already installed graphic card that supports
DisplayPort system properly on your Display Source.
▪
For proper initial trial of the entire platform with its application,
using a short length copper cable is recommended prior to
install with the product.
□
Software requirements
▪
No special restrictions, if you’ve already properly installed your
DisplayPort system.
□
Connection Advisory
▪
It is highly recommend that both Display Source and Display are
capable of High-resolution transmission. For Optical fiber
transmission, DPAX is specially designed to couple with Opticis
DisplayPort Extender models. Connecting with other Optical
fiber products can result in showing inappropriate display or
having undesired resolution.
Product Description
The new DisplayPort 1.2 Data Recovery Repeater, DPAX is an active repeater
for DisplayPort video signal to increase video transmission of a DisplayPort
signal up to combined length of 8m (26ft) over DisplayPort 1.2 copper cables.
3m (10ft) from the Source - 5m (16ft) to the Display at DP1.2
5m (16ft) from the Source - 10m (33ft) to the Display at DP1.1
DPAX complies with DisplayPort 1.2 standards, and supports Ultra High
Definition (up to 4096x2160) at 60Hz with auxiliary channel, MST function.
DPAX has been especially designed to work with Opticis fiber-optic
DisplayPort extenders, DPFX-700, DPFX-300, DPFX-250, DPFX-100, DHFC200D and M1-5000. So it can extend transmission of DisplayPort signal even
longer.

Connection with Copper cable
Figure 3 – Connection of DPAX with Copper cable and Optical fiber (RX side)
Step 1
Carefully unpack the contents in the shipping group.
Figure 2 – Connection of DPAX with Copper cable
Step 1
Carefully unpack the contents in the shipping group.
Step 2
Connect a DisplayPort cable (maximum 3m) from the DisplayPort Source to
input port of DPAX, DP IN.
Step 2
Connect a general DisplayPort cable from Display to the output port of DPAX,
DP OUT, which coupled with Receiver module of DP Extender. Make sure to
have DPAX switch on the RX side.
Step 3
Connect Optical fiber between Transmitter and the Receiver modules of DP
Extender by reference to its user manual.
Step 4
Power up DPAX by using USB power cable or DC power adapter(optional).
Step 4
Power up DPAX by using DC power adapter (optional). Both transmitter and
receiver of DP Extender can be turned on by 3.3V from pin #20 of DisplayPort
interface, however, supplying DC power is recommended for the stable power
supply for DP Extender. Check LED ON at RX side below DPAX switch.
Step 5
Power up Display Source and Display and check if it works properly.
Step 5
Power on Display Source and Display and check if it works properly.
Step 3
Connect another DisplayPort cable (maximum 5m) from output port of DPAX,
DP OUT, to the Display.
Connection with Copper cable and Optical Extender (TX side)
Note 1. Indicator Information of DPAX
LED below switch is the indicator to classify use of DPFX Extender.
If connected to Display with DPFX RX module, make sure to have switch on
‘RX’ and check LED On at RX side below the switch.
If connected to Display Source with DP TX module, make sure to have switch
on ‘TX’ and check LED ON at TX side below the switch.
Troubleshooting
The display shows only black screen.
- Ensure that all plugs and jacks used by provided power supplies are firmly
connected.
- Ensure that the DP ports are firmly plugged into the Display Source and
Display.
- Check if the DP source and Display are powered on and properly booted.

Step 1
Carefully unpack the contents in the shipping group.
Step 2
Connect a customized DisplayPort cable from Display source to input port of DPAX,
DP IN, which coupled with Transmitter module of DP Extender. Make sure to have
DPAX switch on the TX side.
- Reset the system by de-plugging and re-plugging the DP cable, or by deplugging and re-plugging the USB to DC plug cables that are plugged to
DPAX module or transmitter and receiver module if connected with optical
fiber.
- Re-boot up the system while connecting the module.
Screen is distorted or displays noises.
- Check if the graphic resolution is properly set. Go to the display properties
and tap the settings. Ensure that the resolution sets less than 4K UHD
(4096x2160) at 60Hz (YCbCr 4:4:4) refresh ratio.
Step 3
Connect Optical fiber between Transmitter and the Receiver modules of DP
Extender by reference to its user manual.
Step 4
Power up DPAX by DC power adapter (optional). Both transmitter and receiver of
DPFX can be turned on by 3.3V from pin #20 of DisplayPort interface, however,
Supplying DC power is recommended for the stable power supply for DPFX. Check
LED ON at TX side below DPAX switch.
Step 5
Power on Display Source and Display and check if it works properly.
- Reset the system.
- Power down, disconnect and reconnect each of DisplayPort cable or DC
power adaptors, and power up.
