Fiber Cable Transmission Modes
Two versions of
•Multimode — Long distance, up to 300 m (985 feet)
•Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)
NOTES:
•All transceiver modules on a fiber optic I/O board, as delivered from Extron, are configured the same; either all multimode or all singlemode.
•You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards in a FOX matrix switcher, but you must ensure that you connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the board.
Features
Fiber optic inputs and outputs — With fiber optic I/O boards, the switchers input and output fiber optic signals on SFP optical connectors. The fiber optic I/O boards support digital signals from 270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps.

Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs.
•Tie any input to any or all outputs.
•Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.
Input link detection — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. The switcher confirms that input sources are active by detecting light. Link detection provides instantaneous feedback via the serial ports or LAN port of the switcher. The input information can be displayed on any control system or in a
Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.
