Fiber optic connectors and LEDs —
W 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 FOX 4G Matrix Switchers use 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
device.
N Or, for the serial return (receiver-
to-transmitter) function, connect
the far end to the Optical 2
connector on a FOX Rx receiver.
Input LED — When lit,
the link is active (light is
received).
Å
Output connector —
Connect a fiber optic cable
between each output
LC connector and a FOX 500 Rx
or any other compatible Extron
FOX device.
N Or, for the serial return
(receiver-to-transmitter)
function, connect the far end
to the Optical 2 connector on a
FOX Tx transmitter.
Output LED — This LED is
always lit.

d
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 — Wire the interface
cable as a crossover cable.
N The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
e
Switch Reference connectors (affect SDI / HD-SDI inputs and
outputs only) — Connect an external sync signal to this BNC
connector to genlock the video signal in broadcast or other sync-
critical applications.
f
Power connectors — 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.
g
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
outside the normal tolerances or has failed. See chapter 5,
“Maintenance and Modifications“ to replace the power supply.
