Fiber optic connectors and LEDs —
W These units output 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
transmitter/receiver pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has
a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.
N Only one fiber optic cable, Optical 1, is required for
video, audio, and serial command transmission. But,
if you connect only one fiber optic cable, you will not
receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device, and
there will be reduced front panel, Windows-based
control program, and RS-232 command functionality
on the Rx unit. To receive responses from the controlled
device and for full functionality, you will need to install
both fiber optic cables.
Optical 1 (required) — For all one-way
video, audio, and serial communications
from the transmitter to the receiver,
connect a fiber optic cable to the Optical 1
LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic
cable to the Optical 1 connector on the
FOX 500 Tx transmitter (item j on
figure 2-4 on page 2-6) or to any other
compatible Extron FOX 500 device .
Optical 2 (optional) — For all one-way
serial communications from the receiver
to the transmitter, connect a fiber optic
cable to the Optical 2 LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic
cable to the Optical 2 connector on the
FOX 500 Tx transmitter (item j on
figure 2-4 on page 2-6) or to any other
compatible Extron FOX 500 device .
Link 1 and Link 2 LEDs — When lit, the
link is active (light is received).
s
AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord
into this connector to connect the receiver to a 100 VAC to
240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source.

N The missing connectors on the included DVI cable are not
required for the single link of DVI-D data supported by the
FOX 500 DVI. The analog video pins are not connected.

DVI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially
prone to bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive
cable length. To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these
guidelines:
• Do not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters) on the input or buffered
loop-through of the FOX 500 DVI transmitter or the
output of the FOX 500 DVI receiver.
• Use only the cable designed for DVI signals that is
supplied by Extron.
• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
• Use only approved DVI/HDMI connectors.
