Extron Electronics PowerCage FOX AEX 104 User Guide - Manual (Page 8)

Features
Local audio outputs — Local audio outputs for up to four FOX Series fiber optic signals,
extracting analog stereo audio for independent processing and routing
Inputs — Four fiber optic LC connectors with buffered Loop-throughs
Outputs — Four 5-pole captive screw connectors for balanced or unbalanced analog stereo
audio.
Simultaneous audio extraction ports — Each port accepts signals from a FOX Series fiber
optic product to provide local analog stereo audio output, and retransmits the fiber optic
signal at the original power level.
Buffered input loop-throughs — Full transmitter power on each output maximizes
distance capabilities by ensuring full availability of optical loss budget.
Balanced or unbalanced analog audio outputs — Provide balanced or unbalanced
stereo audio on captive screw output connectors for integration with audio processing and
distribution equipment.
Output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal.
Multimode and singlemode availability — Available as an 850 nm multimode model
for moderate-range transmissions and a 1310 nm singlemode model for extreme distances
up to 30 km (18.75 miles). A PowerCage FOX AEX 104, connected between a FOX Series
transmitter and receiver, effectively doubles the overall transmission distance capability. For
singlemode applications, signals can be sent up to 60 km (37.5 miles) from a transmitter to a
receiver via the PowerCage FOX AEX 104.
Reliable physical connectivity — Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical
connectivity and precise fiber core alignment.
Compatibility with the following Extron FOX Series:
• Matrix switchers — Provides a convenient location for audio extraction in a matrix
switching environment for signal distribution systems up to 1000x1000 and larger. Each
port includes an input with a loop-through, enabling in-line installation without using
valuable dedicated switching resources or a matrix switcher slot.
• Distribution amplifiers —Supports virtually any fiber optic switching and distribution
environment for maximum design flexibility.
• HDMI, DVI Plus, DVI, VGA, VGA/YUV, and AV transmitters and receivers —
Provides audio extraction for a wide variety of sources and displays.
NOTES: • The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 is not compatible with the FOX 3G HD-SDI
extender or the FOX 3G DVC signal converter.
• Transmission of HDMI video with HDCP content requires two fibers.
Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, international power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
Audio Output — The extractor outputs balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on a 3.5 mm,
5-pole captive screw connector.
Input Data Rate Selection — A recessed toggle switch on the front panel allows for
selectable input data rates. The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 can be set to 2G or 4G rates.
Power — 120 V or 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source
PowerCage Mounting — All PowerCage FOX AEX 104 units are mountable in any Extron
PowerCage enclosure.
