output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes;
use with caution.
Do not look into the fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber
optic cables themselves.
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the
fiber cable is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT : L'appareil émet une lumière invisible en continu,
à utiliser avec precaution.

Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l'ensemble
émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché.
NOTES:
•
On a fiber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron, all transceiver
modules 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.
• Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode
cable has an orange or cyan jacket.
• For proper cooling and air flow, boards or blank panels should
be installed in all locations during normal switcher operations.
• See A Note on I/O Boards
different arrangement of connectors on the I/O boards.
• The FOX Matrix Switcher components that are user-replaceable
are hot-swappable. You do not need to power down the
switcher to remove or replace a component.
