WARNING: The FOX matrix switchers fiber optic I/O boards output continuous
invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution.
Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver when the fiber optic cable
is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le grilles de commutation de la gamme FOX cartes d'entrée/
sortie fibre optique émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme à la classe 1)
qui peut être dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution Branchez la
protection contre la poussière dans l'ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque le
câble fibre optique est débranché.
NOTES:
• 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 or
aqua jacket.
Unlike most Extron transmitters and receivers, which output an optical stream
•
on one connector in a block and receive a return optical stream on the second
connector in the same block, the FOX matrix switchers uses one connector
on the block as an input and the second connector on the same block as a
separate output.
All transceiver modules on a fiber optic I/O board,
•
as delivered from Extron, are configured the same:
either all multimode or all singlemode.
• You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber optic
I/O boards in a FOX matrix switcher, but ensure
that you connect the proper transmission mode
fiber cables to the board.

Connect the far end of this fiber optic cable to the
Optical Tx LC connector on a FOXBOX Tx transmitter
or to any other compatible Extron fiber optic device.
NOTES:
• For a FOX 500 transmitter, connect this fiber
optic cable to the Optical 1 LC connector.
• Alternatively, for the serial return, (receiver-to-
transmitter) function, connect the far end of the
cable to the Optical 2 connector on a receiver.
