WThis unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and dangerous 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.

NEnsure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O board. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.

NUnlike the FOX 500 transmitters and receivers, which output an optical stream on one connector in a block and receive a return optical stream on the second connector in the same block, the Fiber Matrix 6400 uses one connector on the block as an input and the second connector on the same block as a separate output.

ÄInput connector — For all one- way video, audio, and/or serial communications output by a transmitter, connect a fiber optic cable to the Input LC connector.

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Optical 1 LC connector on a FOX 500 Tx transmitter or to any other compatible Extron FOX 500 device.

NOr, for the FOX 500 serial return, (receiver- to-transmitter) function, connect the free end to the Optical 2 connector on a FOX 500 Rx receiver.

Input LED — When lit, the link is active (light is received).

ÅOutput connector — For all one- way video, audio, and/or serial communications output to a receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the Output LC connector.

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Optical 1 LC connector on a FOX 500 Rx receiver or to any other compatible Extron FOX 500 device.

NOr, for the FOX 500 serial return, (receiver- to-transmitter) function, connect the

free end to the Optical 2 connector on a FOX 500 Tx transmitter.
