Extron Electronics FOX AEX 108 User Guide - Manual (Page 8)

Features
Local audio outputs — Local audio outputs for up to eight FOX Series fiber optic signals,
extracting analog stereo audio for independent processing and routing
Inputs — Eight fiber optic LC connectors with buffered Loop-throughs
Outputs — Eight 5-pole captive screw connectors for balanced or unbalanced analog stereo
audio
Simultaneous audio extraction ports — Each port accepts signals from a FOX Series fiber
optic product to provide local analog stereo audio output, and retransmits the fiber optic
signal at the original power level.
Buffered input loop-throughs — Full transmitter power on each output maximizes
distance capabilities by ensuring full availability of optical loss budget.
Balanced or unbalanced analog audio outputs — Provide balanced or unabalanced
stereo audio on captive screw output connectors for integration with audio processing and
distribution equipment.
Output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal.
Multimode and singlemode availability — Available as an 850 nm multimode model
for moderate-range transmissions and a 1310 nm singlemode model for extreme distances
up to 30 km (18.75 miles). A FOX AEX 108, connected between a FOX Series transmitter
and receiver, effectively doubles the overall transmission distance capability. For singlemode
applications, signals can be sent up to 60 km (37.5 miles) from a transmitter to a receiver via
the FOX AEX 108.
Reliable physical connectivity — Industry standard LC connectors provide reliable physical
connectivity and precise fiber core alignment.
Real-time status LED indicators — Front and rear panel LEDs verify signal presence, link
status, and power for troubleshooting and monitoring.
Compatibility with the following Extron FOX series:
• Matrix switchers — Provides a convenient location for audio extraction in a matrix
switching environment for signal distribution systems up to 1000x1000 and larger. Each
port includes an input with a loop-through, enabling in-line installation without using
valuable dedicated switching resources or a matrix switcher slot.
• Distribution amplifiers —Supports virtually any fiber optic switching and distribution
environment for maximum design flexibility.
• HDMI, DVI Plus, DVI, VGA, VGA/YUV, and AV transmitters and receivers —
Provides audio extraction for a wide variety of sources and displays.
NOTES: • The FOX AEX 108 is not compatible with the FOX 3G HD-SDI extender or the
FOX 3G DVC signal converter.
• Transmission of HDMI video with HDCP content requires two fibers.
Rack-mountable — Compact 1U half-rack width metal enclosure enables up to 16
extraction ports in a 1U rack space.
Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, international power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
Input Data Rate Selection — A recessed toggle switch on the front panel allows for
selectable input data rates. The FOX AEX 108 can be set to 2G or 4G rates. These selectable
rates apply to all inputs; they are not for individual inputs.
