This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which
may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with
caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust
caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic
cable is unplugged.
N
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O
board. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and
multimode cable has an orange jacket.
N
The Fiber Matrix 6400 uses one connector on the block as
an input and the second connector on the same block as a
separate output.
Ä
Input connector —
Connect a fiber optic
cable between each Input
LC connector and a
FOX 500 Tx or any other
compatible Extron FOX 500
device.
N
Or, for the FOX 500 serial
return, (receiver-to-transmitter)
function, connect the free end
to the Optical 2 connector on a
FOX 500 Rx receiver.
Input LED —
When lit,
the link is active (light is
received).
Å
Output connector —

between each output LC
connector and a FOX 500 Rx or any
other compatible Extron FOX 500
device.
N
Or, for the FOX 500 serial
return, (receiver-to-transmitter)
function, connect the free end
to the Optical 2 connector
on a FOX 500 Tx
transmitter.
Output LED —
This LED is
always lit.

displays to these BNC connectors.
c
Ethernet port —
If desired, connect a network WAN or LAN
hub, a control system, or a computer to the Ethernet RJ-45 port.
Network connection
— Wire as a patch (straight) cable.
Computer or control system connection

Power connector —
Plug the switcher into two grounded AC
sources.
N
For reliability, connect the Redundant power cord to either
an uninterruptible power source or to a power source that
is completely independent from the primary power source.

Primary and Redundant power supply indicator LEDs —
Green —
Indicates that the associated power supply is
operating within normal tolerances.
Red —
Indicates that the associated power supply is operating
