Configurability and transmission modes
The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 is assembled from individual input/ output (I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to nine I/O boards, each of which supports 16 inputs by 16 outputs. The two types of I/O boards are:
•Singlemode fiber optic 16x16 I/O board, equipped with removable fiber optic transceiver modules
•Multimode fiber optic 16x16 I/O board, equipped with removable fiber optic transceiver modules
NAs listed above, two versions of the fiber optic I/O boards are documented in this manual. They are categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode, which defines the effective range of transmission:
•Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 20 km (12.43 miles)

NOn a fiber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron, all transceiver modules are configured the same: either all multimode or all singlemode. You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards in a FOX 4G Matrix 14400 switcher, but you must ensure that you connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the board.
