Plug the attached dust caps into the
optical transceivers when the fiber cable is
unplugged.

Daisy Chain Configuration

NOTES: • 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 or aqua jacket.

Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for

video, audio, and serial command transmission. However, if you connect
only one fiber optic cable, or if your receiver is configured to daisy-chain
the optical signal:

The HDMI signal output by the receiver

is not HDCP-compliant.

You

will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.

To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2
enabled via an

SIS command

[see page 18] or using the

Signal

Processing Product Control Program

[see page 24]).
