Fiber optic boards with connectors and LEDs — (see figure 2 on page 2)
NOTES:
• Ensure the proper fiber cable for the I/O board is used. Typically, singlemode fiber has a
yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange or cyan jacket.
• The FOX3 matrix switcher uses one connector on the block as an input and the second
connector on the same block as a separate output.
1 Input connector — Connect a fiber optic cable between each Input LC connector and a FOX3
transmitter or any other compatible Extron FOX device.
NOTE: For USB, return audio, and serial RS-232 (receiver-to-transmitter) function, connect
the far end to the Optical Out connector on a FOX receiver.
Input LED — See Fiber optic I/O board LED indication on page 4.
2 Output connector
— Connect a fiber optic cable between each output LC connector and a
FOX3 receiver or any other compatible Extron FOX device (see figure 1 on page 1).
NOTE: For USB, return audio, and serial RS-232 (receiver-to-transmitter) function, connect
the far end to the Optical In connector on a FOX transmitter.
Output LED — See Fiber optic I/O board LED indication on the next page.
B Replaceable fans — This fan card has 3 removable fans (see Removing and Installing a Fan
Module on page 12 to replace a fan).
C LAN Ethernet port — Optionally, connect a network WAN or LAN hub, a control system, or a
computer to the Ethernet RJ-45 port.

F Power supplies
— The Primary and Redundant power supplies are hot-swappable. There are two corresponding LEDs on
the front panel that indicate the status of each power supply (see Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module on
page 12 to replace power supplies).
G Power connectors
— Plug the switcher into two grounded AC sources.
NOTE: 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.
