Extron DVID SL Pro/6 (part number 26-649-06) is a 6 ft (1.8 m) male-to-male single link DVI-D cable for short digital video hops inside a rack or at a lectern.

Six feet gives an integrator noticeably more slack than a jumper while keeping the electrical budget comfortably inside the DVI 1.0 specification. Extron builds the DVID SL Pro family on controlled 100 ohm pairs with a tinned copper drain wire and gold plated contacts, so the same cable tolerates repeated re-patching without developing the intermittent sparkle that low-grade DVI assemblies show. In this length the conductors are 24 AWG silver coated tinned copper inside a 0.30 in PVC jacket.

Key Capabilities

• Single link DVI-D throughput to 4.95 Gbps, sufficient for 1920x1200 at 60 Hz.
• Vertical frequency support to 60 Hz, including 1080p/60 sources.
• Far end crosstalk of 20 dB or more per 10 m keeps the TMDS pairs isolated.
• Intrapair skew of 300 ps or less per 10 m preserves channel alignment.
• Gold plated pins on both male DVI-D single link connectors.
• UL Listed as type CM and covered by Extron Limited Lifetime Performance.

Where It Is Used

A 6 ft DVI-D run is the common tie between a rack shelf and a nearby matrix input, between a lectern PC and a wall plate, or between a scaler output and a preview display. Ampronix ships these into medical imaging suites, university classrooms, operations centers and corporate boardrooms.
