WARNING: These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful
to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached
dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.
NOTES: • You can connect the transmitter to one or more receivers in one of three
ways:
•
One way (transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx) only — Connect fiber
cable
é
(from transmitter connector
å
) only.
•
Two way (transmitter to receiver and return) — Connect fiber
cable
é
(from transmitter connector
å
) and fiber cable
è
back to
the transmitter (connector
ç
) (see figure 5.)
•
One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy
chain (receiver to receiver) — Connect fiber
cable
é
from a fiber optic source and cable
è
to
the next receiver in the daisy chain (see figure 6.)
Set each receiver in the daisy chain to daisy
chain mode (via an
PowerCage FOX Rx receiver.)
Up to 10 properly-configured receivers can be
connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
• See the transmitter fiber connector

Daisy Chain Configuration

Rx (required) — For all one-way video, audio, and serial communications from the
transmitter to the receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the Rx LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Tx connector on the
PowerCage FOX Tx transmitter (
on page 9) or to any other compatible
Extron fiber optic device.
è
Tx (optional) — Connect a fiber optic cable to the Tx LC connector for either of
the following functions:
Normal configuration — For all one-way return serial communications from the
receiver to the Rx connector on the transmitter (see figure 5.)
Daisy chain configuration — For daisy-chained video, audio, and serial
communications to the Rx connector on another receiver (see figure 6.)
NOTE: The Tx connector emits light in either case and the Rx port receives light.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to either:
•
The Rx connector on the PowerCage FOX Tx transmitter (
on page 9) or
to any other compatible Extron fiber optic device
•
The Rx connector on another receiver in the daisy chain.
Tx and Rx LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is received).
