  • Page 9 Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged. The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 (figure 1-1) is a configurable matrix switcher that distributes optical and electrical signals. Fiber optic I/O boards route signals that are compatible with all Extron FOX 500 fiber optic product lines.

  • Page 10: Fiber Cable Transmission Modes

    N Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules with LC-type connectors. The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 supports all compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or received by an Extron fiber optic system component or not.
