About this Guide
This guide contains information about the two models of Extron FOX DA8 Plus fiber optic
distribution amplifiers (DAs). The FOX DA8 Plus is available in two transmission modes that
define the transmission range of the DA:
• FOX DA8 Plus MM — A 1-input, 8-output multimode DA, with a range of up to 2 km
(6561 feet) on the input and on each output
• FOX DA8 Plus SM — A 1-input, 8-output singlemode DA, with a very long range of up
to 30 km (18.75 miles) on the input and on each output
NOTES: • The multimode and singlemode DAs are physically and functionally
identical with the exception of the effective range of transmission.
In this guide, the terms “FOX DA8 Plus” and “FOX DA” refer to a DA of
either transmission mode.
• Many products are compatible with the FOX DA8 Plus. They are identified
where appropriate, but not specifically described in this guide.
• The FOX DA8 Plus MM and the FOX DA8 Plus SM are not compatible.
