Product Description

Key Features

I/O sizes from 8x8 to 72x72
Compatible with all Extron FOX Series transmitters and receivers
SpeedSwitch Technology provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content
Integrates easily into a wide range of 4K environments
Multimode and singlemode I/O boards available

Optical specifications

Number/type

8 singlemode or 8 multimode fiber optic inputs and outputs (8 Tx and 8 Rx) per I/O board

NOTE	Only 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

16 LC connectors per I/O board

Operating distance

Singlemode

30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with an Extron singlemode transmitter/receiver

Multimode

300 m (985') with 62.5 m OM1 multimode (MM) cables with an Extron multimode Tx/Rx unit
1 km (3280') with 50 m OM2 multimode (MM) cables with an Extron multimode Tx/Rx unit
2 km (6561') with 50 m, OM3/OM4, 2000 MHz bandwidth, laser-optimized multimode (MM) cables with an Extron multimode Tx/Rx unit

NOTE	Operating distance is approximate. These are typical distances. The maximum distance may be greater than these typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
