I/O Boards

As shown in
output numbers supported by the board position, which are printed on the side of each fan
module.
NOTES:
• Ensure 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.
• Each I/O board has 8 SFPs with an IN and OUT, numbered from left to right.
• 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 FOX3 matrix switchers use 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.
• Multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards in a FOX3 matrix switcher can be
used, but be sure to connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to each
board.
