FOX RS 104 Inserter Connectors
a
Fiber optic connectors and LEDs — Each port, 1 through 4, has two SFP optical
transceiver modules with LC connectors, labeled “A” and “B”. How to connect these
transceivers is determined by where the inserter is installed, typically on the input of
a matrix switcher or on the output. Transceiver B is connected to an internal UART
that inserts serial communications into the fiber optic signal or extracts the serial
communications, depending on the application. See “
” on
page 7 for detailed connection diagrams in typical applications.
WARNING: Risk of eye injury. The fiber optic FOX inserter outputs continuous
invisible light that may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional
safety, plug the attached dust caps into the transceivers when the fiber cable is
unplugged.
NOTE: Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your inserter. Typically,
singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange or aqua
jacket.
Ä
Tx A — For one-way communications from the inserter to a downstream device,
typically a matrix switcher, connect a fiber optic cable to the Tx A LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the In or Rx connector on the
downstream device.
Å
Rx A — For one-way transmission from an upstream device, typically a matrix
switcher, connect a fiber optic cable to the Rx A LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Out or Tx connector on the
upstream device.
