Specifications
NOTES: The PowerCage FOX boards are available in singlemode or multimode versions.
The optional PowerCage FOX boards are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of
IEC-60825, FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
Optical specifications — PowerCage FOX boards, interconnection between
transmitter and receiver
Number/type .................................. 1 singlemode or 1 multimode fiber optic input and output per board, up to
16 single space or 8 double space boards per PowerCage enclosure
NOTE: Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to
transmit return data for bidirectional control/communication.
Connectors .................................... 2 bidirectional LC connectors per board
Operating distance
Singlemode ............................. 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables and an SM board
Multimode ............................... 300 m (985') with 62.5 µm multimode (MM) cable and a MM board
1 km (3280') with 50 µm multimode (MM) cable and a MM board
2 km (6561') with 50 µm 2000 MHz bandwidth laser optimized MM cable and a
MM board
NOTE: Operating distances are approximate. These are typical distances. The maximum distance may be greater
than these typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing,
losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.

Transmission power, singlemode or multimode
-5 dBm, typical
Maximum receiver sensitivity
Singlemode ............................. -18 dBm, typical
Multimode ............................... -12 dBm, typical
Optical loss budget
Singlemode ............................. 13 dB, maximum
Multimode ............................... 7 dB, maximum
