DVI over Fiber Optic Transmitter & Receiver (Connector Size Tools) - 2

The Kramer 602R/T is a detachable optical transmitter and receiver pair designed for DVI signal conversion. The compact, lightweight system consists of the 602T transmitter and 602R receiver. The 602T converts incoming electrical signals into optical signals, while the 602R decodes the optical signals back into electrical signals. Source specifications list a 4.95Gbps bandwidth and a 60Hz refresh rate.

Ideal Use Cases

The 602R/T is suited to DVI connections that require electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical signal conversion. Its separate transmitter and receiver arrangement provides a defined signal path: the 602T handles conversion at the transmitting side, and the 602R performs decoding at the receiving side. The small and lightweight design is useful when component size and handling are important considerations. It can be paired with the listed DVI copper and multimode optical cable options to create a connection using the documented cable types and available lengths.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines both required conversion stages in a matched transmitter and receiver pair. Instead of providing only one side of the optical link, the 602R/T includes the 602T electrical-to-optical transmitter and the 602R optical-to-electrical receiver as one product configuration. Its detachable design and compact construction distinguish it from a fixed, single-piece signal device. The documented 4.95Gbps bandwidth and 60Hz refresh rate provide concrete performance references for evaluating the pair against the requirements of a DVI signal installation.

Installation and Integration

The supplied source data identifies two associated cable families. The C-DM/DM DVI Dual Link copper cable uses one DVI-D male connector at each end, supports Dual Link, and is listed in lengths from 0.9 to 19.5 meters, or 3 to 65 feet. The CLS-2LC/OM3 fiber cable is a dual-LC-to-dual-LC multimode cable constructed with 50/125µm OM3 fiber. It is listed in lengths from 10 to 200 meters, or 33 to 656 feet.

For integration planning, the documented optical cable configuration provides two multimode LC optical connections at each end. The listed CLS-2LC/OM3 cable is also described as low smoke and halogen free. Cable products and lengths should be selected according to the required connection layout. The source data identifies these as cable options but does not state that any particular cable or cable length is included with the transmitter and receiver pair.

Performance Highlights

The 602R/T supports a stated bandwidth of 4.95Gbps and a refresh rate of 60Hz. Its core operation is divided clearly between the two devices: the 602T changes the DVI electrical signal into an optical signal, and the 602R restores the received optical signal to an electrical signal. This bidirectional format description refers to the conversion sequence across the paired devices, with each component assigned a specific stage of the signal path. The associated DVI copper cable listing supports Dual Link.

What Makes It Different

The defining feature of the 602R/T is its combination of detachable DVI connectivity and optical signal conversion in a small, lightweight transmitter and receiver set. The two-piece architecture keeps the transmitting and receiving functions separate and easy to identify. Documented compatibility information covers DVI-D male copper cabling and dual-LC multimode OM3 optical cabling. The listed optical cable range extends from 33 to 656 feet, while the listed DVI copper cable range extends from 3 to 65 feet, giving installers multiple documented cable-length choices within each cable family.

Final Assessment

The Kramer 602R/T provides a focused solution for converting DVI electrical signals to optical signals and back again through a dedicated 602T transmitter and 602R receiver. Its small, lightweight, detachable construction is supported by clearly identified DVI-D and multimode LC cable options. With a stated 4.95Gbps bandwidth, 60Hz refresh rate, Dual Link DVI cable support, and listed OM3 fiber cable lengths up to 200 meters, it offers a well-defined set of capabilities for compatible DVI optical signal connections.
