Dxlink Fiber Receivers, Duplex - AMX DXLink Multi-Format SMF-D Instruction Manual

Fiber Optic Transceiver
The fiber optic transceiver transports digital video, embedded audio, Ethernet, and bidirectional control over fiber optic
cable to a DXLink Fiber Input Board, including digitally transcoded analog video signals. The DXLink Fiber path
supports HDCP. If the latch is black or has a black label, the SFP+ fiber optic transceiver accepts multimode cable; if the
latch is blue or has a blue label, the SFP+ fiber optic transceiver accepts single mode cable.
Warning: DXLink Fiber units use laser transceivers, which are Class 1 Eye Safe per IEC 60825-1/CDRH
requirements. While the Class 1 category indicates that the invisible laser used is safe, we recommend
avoiding direct eye exposure when using any optical fiber products (see the OSHA directive on page 13).

DXLink Fiber Receivers, Duplex

The MMF-D RX and SMF-D RX are identical except for the type of fiber optic transceiver. The MMF-D RX has a
multimode transceiver (the latch is black or has a black label), and the SMF-D RX has a single mode transceiver
(the latch is blue or has a blue label).
Note: If a DVI-D signal is used (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable), the advanced audio support from HDMI will not be
available out the Receiver.
