Power input connector

 

— Connect external power supplies to these 2-pole, 

3.5 mm captive screw connectors. If the USB port of a connected PC or laptop is capable 
of providing USB power, an external supply for the transmitter is not required.

ATTENTIONS:

 

  Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron for use 

with the FOX USB Extender Series. Use of an unauthorized power 
supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause 
damage to the supply and the FOX USB Extenders. 

• 

Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for 
use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is 
to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing 
equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to 
the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium or desk. 

• 

The installation must always be in accordance with applicable 
provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 
and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power 
supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar 
structure.

cables between the LC connectors on the transmitter and receiver. 
Connect each Tx port to the Rx port on the opposite unit (see the 
drawing at right).

WARNING:

  These units output continuous invisible light, which 

may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For 
additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into 
the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is 
unplugged. 

NOTE:

 

Use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter and 
receiver pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket 
and multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.

Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs

 — When lit, the link is active (light is present, either 

transmitted or received).
