No trouble, Quick start and hi cost performance. But too long term for delivery.

Asked by: Paul
The Gefen EXT-DVI-FM500 DVI FM 500 Extender BH #GEED500 supports fiber cables with these specifications: Duplex, LC-terminated, Single-Mode or Multi-Mode (OM1 (62.5/125‚µm), or OM2/OM3/OM3e/OM4 (50/125‚µm)) The BH #CACMX2LC0250 is a good option.
