About this Manual

This manual contains information about the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV family of signal transmitters and receivers, with information on how to mount, install and operate these units.

In this manual, unless otherwise specified, the term

FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV refers to the features or operation of all four units. The term transmitter refers to both the multi-mode (MM) and single mode (SM) transmitters and the receiver refers to both the MM and SM receivers.

About the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV

The FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV are a high performance, low resolution video, audio, and data (RS-232) transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pairs. Signals are transmitted over fiber optic cable at rates up to 2 Gbps.

There are four different units:

•FOX 2G Tx AV MM

•FOX 2G Tx AV SM

•FOX 2G Rx AV MM

•FOX 2G Rx AV SM

The MM models have 850 nm multimode small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules and carry signals up to 500 m (1640'). The SM models have 1310 nm single mode SFP modules

and carry signals up to 30 km (18 miles). The transmitter is connected to the receiver using the appropriate fiber optic cable (SM or MM).

NThe transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both must be MM or both must be SM. It is not possible to mix types.

WThe FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.

Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables themselves.

Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.

These low resolution FOX 2G video units are not compatible with the Extron FOX 500 RGB series, the FOX 500 DVI, the FOX 500 DA6, or the FOX HD-SDI products. However, they are compatible with the Extron Fiber Matrix units.
