Fiber optic connectors and LEDs —
W This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which
may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with
caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust
caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic
cable is unplugged.
N Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O
board. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and
multimode cable has an orange jacket.
N The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 uses one connector on the
block as an input and the second connector on the same
block as a separate output.
Ä
Input connector —
Connect a fiber optic
cable between each Input
LC connector and a
FOX 500 Tx or any other

N Or, for the serial return (receiver-
to-transmitter) function, connect
the far end to the Optical 2
connector on a FOX Rx receiver.
Input LED — When lit, the link is
active (light is received).
Å
Output connector —
Connect a fiber optic cable
between each output
LC connector and a
FOX 500 Rx or any other
