What's a Dual Link DVI Convertor box?

Googled it and can't find an appropriate link.

IBM released a newer version of the T221 called the 9503DG5. It has
an internal refresh rate of 48Hz while the DG0, DG1, and DG3 have a
41Hz rate. The DG5 also comes with a dual-link DVI to 2x single-link
converter box. Dual-link DVI has 2 data channels to support up to
330MHz pixel clock. Single-link DVI maxes out at 165MHz. What this
means is that your Quadro FX 2000 would be able to drive the DG5 at
3840x2400@24Hz using just the dual-link connector. Supposedly the
Quadro FX 3000 has a special mode to support 3840x2400@48Hz using both
the dual-link and single-link ports when driving the DG5.

IBM's site still doesn't have much info on the DG5 but it's available
for sale.
