Features; Powercage Enclosure And System; Powercage Fox Fiber Optic Extender Boards - Extron electronics PowerCage 1600 User Manual

A PowerCage system can include any combination of PowerCage fiber optic (FOX) boards
and PowerCage twisted pair (MTP) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure.
Each optional board operates independently of the others to form an integrated system of
individual transmitters and receivers, rather than a matrixed system.

Versatile input-output options — The PowerCage 1600 accommodates up to
16 single-slot or 8 double-slot FOX fiber optic boards and MTP twisted pair boards.
3U, rack-mountable enclosure — The enclosure streamlines installation and
eliminates individual power supplies for each transmitter and receiver.
Modular, field-upgradeable, and hot-swappable design — The transmitter and
receiver boards, and the primary and redundant power supplies, are hot-swappable,
thus allowing components to be added or replaced at any time without powering
down the system. This is useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous
operation.
Efficient power management — Each PowerCage board can power down internal
components when no active signal is present, providing increased system efficiency.
Optional redundant power supply — For continuous, mission-critical applications
where power reliability is crucial, add a redundant power supply, part number 70-784-01.
Thermal management — The PowerCage enclosure provides channeled air flow to
each board for optimal cooling and reliable operation.
Are available in singlemode or multimode versions.
Support standard definition or high resolution video, HDMI, stereo audio, and RS-232
over a single fiber. They extend high resolution RGB, DVI-D, multi-rate SDI, standard
resolution component, S-video, or composite video extreme distances.
NOTE: Two fibers are needed when transmitting an HDCP signal.
Deliver pixel-for-pixel image quality for high resolution video. All digital, zero compression
transmission ensures image quality over long distances at high resolutions.
Provide alarm notification for fiber link loss and can be set up to trigger an external
control system for immediate notification when a fiber link has been lost.
PowerCage FOX DVI, DVI Plus, and VGA Fiber Optic Extenders are compatible with
and can be mixed and matched with FOXBOX and FOX 500 Series transmitters and
receivers for versatile system designs and configurations, including ultra-long distance
DVI-to-analog RGB and RGB-to-DVI conversion.
