Mounting Options (Rack Trays and Mounting Brackets)
The DXFP-TX-4K60 and DXFP-RX-4K60 can be mounted using V Style Surface Mounting
Brackets, V Style Single Module Pole Mounting Kit, or NMX-VRK V-Style Rack Shelf.
For details, see www.amx.com
IMPORTANT:
When mounting under a surface, the module should be mounted upright and
lowered in the mounting bracket slots to provide an air
fl
ow gap between the surface and
the vent holes. If not using V Style brackets, be sure to leave a gap between the top of
the unit and the surface for heat to escape.

Before installing the units,
fi
nd the scenario you are using in the table below and set the
DIP switch toggles accordingly. Toggle #4 is reserved for future functionality.
For standalone pair upgrades, set Toggles #1-2-3 to ON and connect one unit to Controller.
** In standalone setup using NetLinx control of DXLink serial/IR ports, only one of the
DXLink
fiber
units should be connected to network (the unit with #1 Toggle enabled).

System Setup
The DXFP-TX-4K60 and DXFP-RX-4K60 work with a switcher that supports DXLink
Technology or as a stand-alone pair to transmit audio, video and control signals. The
Transmitter receives audio and video from the HDMI source and transmits both audio
and video over the
fiber optic
cable. This DXLin
k fiber optic
cable can be connected directly
to a DXLin
k fiber
r
eceiver or to a DXLin
k fiber
input on a DXLink switcher where it can be
routed to a DXLin
k fiber
output and connected to a DXLin
k fiber
r
eceiver. The DXLin
k fiber
r
eceiver converts the DXLin
k fiber
input to HDMI and analog audio outputs. On the
t
ransmitter, stereo audio connections are provided as a supplemental audio input. Both the
t
ransmitter and the
r
eceiver support RS-232 for serial data transfer, USB, IR, and Ethernet.

Fiber Optic Transceivers
The DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers use SFP+ fiber optic transceivers. Fiber
optic transceivers are self-contained modules that send and receive optical signals over
fiber cable. DXLink SFP+ fiber optic transceivers is multimode and must be wired with
the corresponding cable type. Multimode transceivers support bidirectional and
unidirectional communication.
Attaching Signal, Transport, and Control Cables
Important Cabling Requirements and Considerations
•
•
LC Duplex conforming to ANSI TIA-EIA 604-10 (FOCIS 10A)
• DXLink Fiber multimode transceivers use OM3 50/125 μm multimode fiber optic
cable type over distances of up to 984 feet (300 m)*
•
Do not create a network (Ethernet) loop. A network loop is created when the
enclosure and one or more of its DXLink Fiber units connect to a common LAN.
Fiber optic cable with LC termination for snap coupling with SFP+ transceivers
* Connect ICS LAN port of DXLink fiber unit to network device (e.g., laptop, IP controlled
projector, ICSLan Device). In standalone setup, connect ICS LAN port of other DXLink
unit to network.
*
Cable quality is a determining factor for the maximum length of cable runs.
WARNING
：
DXLink Fiber units use laser transceiver, which are Class 1 Eye Safe per
IEC 60825-1/CDRH requirements. While the Class 1 category indicates that the invisible
laser used is safe, we recommend avoiding direct eye exposure when using any optical
fiber products (See OSHA directive referenced in the “Hardware Reference Manual”).
