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
Singlemode and multimode devices are
not
interchangeable. Ensure that you connect transmitting
and receiving devices that are compatible with the
FOX DA.

Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your
system. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and
multimode cable has an orange jacket.

In this manual, the term "sending connector" refers to an
LC connector on a transmitter or other device that outputs
a fiber optic signal. The term "receiving connector" refers
to an LC connector that receives an optical signal.
a
AC power connector —
Plug a standard IEC power cord into
this connector to connect the FOX DA to a 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
50 or 60 Hz power source.
b
Input connector and LED
—
N
The input (right-hand) LC connector for
transciever block 1 is the only functional
input connector. The right-hand
LC connectors are not functional for
transceiver blocks 2 through 8.
Optical transceiver block 1 Input connector
—
For one-way video, audio, and serial
communications from the transmitter to the
FOX DA (for distribution to the receiver(s),
connect a fiber optic cable to the optical
transceiver block 1's Input (right-hand) LC
connector.
Connect the far end of this fiber optic cable to
the sending connector on the transmitter
or
other compatible Extron device
.
Optical transceiver block 1 Input LED
—
When lit, the link is active (light is received
from the transmitter).
N
The input (right-hand) LED indicates
the light link for transceiver block 1. The
right-hand LEDs for transceiver blocks 2
through 8 may light, but do not indicate
an input to that connector.
c
Output connectors and LEDs
—
Output connectors
— For one-way video,
audio, and serial communications from the
FOX DA to the receivers, connect up to eight
fiber optic cables to the Output (left-hand) LC
connectors on transceiver blocks 1 through 8.
Connect the far ends of these fiber optic
cables to the receiving connectors on the receivers
or other
compatible Extron devices
.
Output LEDs
— These LEDs are always lit, whether the
output is active (unmuted) or not.
