FOX AEX 108 and FOX II AEX 108 • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to setup up and operate the Extron FOX AEX 108 and
FOX II AEX 108 Fiber Audio Extractors. The fiber audio extractors extract audio from fiber optic systems to be routed to amplifiers
or a DSP processor. The extractors can be implemented anywhere in a fiber optic system where local audio-only outputs are
required. This may include the input or output side of a fiber matrix system or in point-to-point applications between two fiber
optic endpoints.

• The FOX AEX 108 is compatible with all Extron FOX Series products except for FOX 3G HD-SDI,
PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI and FOX 3G DVC models. It is not compatible with FOX II Series products.
• The FOX II AEX 108 is compatible with all Extron FOX and FOX II Series products except for FOX 3G HD-SDI,

The extractors consist of eight audio extraction points. Each extraction point includes a Tx and Rx fiber optic port in a fiber optic

Installation

Step 1 — Mount the Device.
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the extractor as required (see the FOX AEX 108 and FOX II AEX
108 User Guide at www.extron.com
Step 2 — For Each Desired Extraction Point, Connect Inputs and Outputs.
NOTES:
• Each extraction point works independently from other extraction points.
• Ensure the proper fiber cable is used. Typically, singlemode fiber optic cables have a yellow jacket and multimode fiber
optic cables have an orange or aqua jacket.
• Transmission of HDMI or DisplayPort video with HDCP content requires a return fiber optic cable from the receiving
device to the transmitting device.
