Specifications — FOX 500 DVI Series

NThe FOX 500 DVI consists of a transmitter (FOX 500 DVI Tx) and a receiver (FOX 500 DVI Rx) with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units. They are available in singlemode or multimode versions.

NThe analog audio signal(s) is (are) digitized in the transmitter, sent through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog audio in the receiver.

NThese transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825, FDA 21, CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.

Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver

Number/type �������������������������������� 1 or 2 fiber optic

NOnly one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to transmit return data for bidirectional control/communication.

Connectors ������������������������������������� 2 LC connectors Operating distance

Singlemode������������������������� 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a FOX 500 DVI SM

Multimode�������������������������� 300 m (985') with 62.5 µm multimode (MM) cables with a FOX 500 DVI MM 1 km (3280') with 50 µm multimode (MM) cables with a FOX 500 DVI MM

2 km (6561') with 50 µm 2000 MHz bandwidth laser optimized multimode cable with a FOX 500 DVI MM

NOperating distance is approximate. These are typical maximum distances that may vary depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
