About the PowerCage FOX Transmitters and Receivers
The PowerCage consists of several sets of ultra-high performance fiber optic transmitters
and receivers:
•
PowerCage FOX Tx VGA transmitter — Accepts an analog RGB video input, an
audio input, and an RS-232 serial input and outputs a proprietary optical signal on an
LC connector to a PowerCage FOX, FOXBOX, or FOX 500 receiver. It also can receive
a proprietary optical signal from the receiver consisting of the RS-232 return from a
controlled device.
•
PowerCage FOX Rx VGA receiver — Accepts a proprietary optical signal on an LC
connector from a PowerCage FOX, FOXBOX, or FOX 500 transmitter or daisy-chained
PowerCage FOX or PowerCage FOX receiver and outputs analog RGB video, audio, and
RS-232 serial commands. It also can either:
•
Receive an RS-232 return from a controlled device and send it to the transmitter via
a proprietary optical signal, or
•
Output a daisy-chained signal to another receiver.
•
PowerCage FOX Tx DVI Plus transmitter — Accepts a single link of DVI video input
(up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz), an audio input, and an RS-232 serial input and outputs
