The Cable Solutions FV Series cables enable
flawless connections that defy the 5 meter
DVI specification limit! They are ideal
for plasma, LCD, DLP, LCoS and CRT monitors
and projectors, or any DVI-D hook-up.
Convergence
As you may know, the technical specification
for the DVI interface limits cable length to
5 meters. The DVI format was originally
developed with computer monitors in mind.
The length limitation almost makes sense for
an application where one will seldom need
more than about a meter of cable.
As it turns out, the line separating
computer monitors from HDTV monitors has
began to blur. Some monitors can even handle
both formats. The result is that the DVI
specification has been pressed into wide use
on HDTV monitors in addition to computer
monitors. The obvious problem is that 5
meters just isn't long enough for many
installations, and some equipment has
trouble even with cables that are 5 meters
or less in length.
Our Solution
There are a number of factors that limit the
maximum transmission distance for digital
signals, including resistance, capacitance,
and EM (electro-magnetic) interference. In
order to exceed the DVI spec, we needed a
cable good enough to perform like a shorter
cable. To accomplish this goal, we needed a
better design and superior materials.
To reduce resistance, we used oversized
26 and 24
AWG stranded copper conductors. To reduce
capacitance, we used a nitrogen-injected PE
dielectric material. We used precision cable
to ensure a consistent 100 Ohm impedance, as
required by the DVI spec.
To control EM interference, each channel
pair is 100 percent shielded with a hybrid
Mylar/aluminum material. In addition, the
cable has a secondary 100 percent coverage
aluminized Mylar shield over all of the
channels and braided and tinned copper forms
a tertiary shield. Take a look at the
drawing on the right to see what I mean.
Our connectors feature gold-plated pins, a
slim molded PVC body with integrated
strain-reliefs, and convenient thumbscrews.
The Result
The result is a high-performance cable that
easily exceeds the limitations of the DVI
specification. You get over 330 MHz of
bandwidth for flawless digital performance,
even at the highest resolutions - up to 2048
x 1536 at 85 Hz refresh rates. This kind of
performance eliminates digital decoder
errors that can cause picture artifacts and
dropouts, so you get digitally perfect
results!
Why Cable Solutions?
Customer service is our first priority. We do our best to help you find the
best solutions for your particular application. We're enthusiasts too, so
we know what it's like to wait for cables to hook up new gear. We stock
all of the components needed to build all of the items listed on
our site, so we are
able to do something that most cable shops do not - we build and ship most
orders within one business day. We also know how important it is to be able to
get a response when you need help, so you'll often find us working
long hours in an effort to get you the answers that you need. It takes
good people to do outstanding work...the kind of workmanship you want for your
custom cables. It usually costs more to keep good people, but the
importance of high-quality workmanship is second only to the importance of
superior service. I'll let you figure out for yourself why paying too
little for a cable can turn out to be just as bad as paying too much. Our
pricing is based upon the actual cost of building the cables.
Canare cable, Canare connectors, and Canare tools - an all Canare
system. When you take a system this good and put it in the hands of
technicians as good as ours, it becomes an awesome system! Design excellence,
high quality materials, meticulous workmanship, and superior service...put it all
together and you get a superior product. Don't get stuck with bad advice, poor
service, slow shipment or an inferior product. If you want the best, here it is.
