FFiber optic connector — For one-way video, audio, and serial communication from the FOX T USW 203 to a receiver, connect a fiber optic cable between the Tx port on the FOX T USW 203 and the Rx port on a receiver.

To return serial data from a receiver to the FOX T USW 203 or for HDCP compliance, connect a fiber optic cable between the Rx port on the FOX T USW 203 and the Tx port on the receiver (see Wiring for Fiber Communication on page 7).

NOTES:

Ensure that you use the proper fiber optic cable. Typically, singlemode fiber optic cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber optic cable has an orange or aqua jacket.

Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for video, audio, and serial command transmission, but the HDMI signal output on the receiver will not be HDCP-compliant and the FOX T USW 203 will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.

The Link LED indicators light when there is light present on the corresponding fiber optic port.
