NOTE: Steps 2 through 4 are for an 8-input, 1-output switcher in a system that is not HDMI compliant.

For HDCP compliance, the unit can be configured as 7-input, 1-output only. See the

NOTE after step 4.

Step 1 — Mounting

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the FOX switcher as required.

Step 2 — Optical Inputs

Connect up to eight fiber optic transmitters to rear panel Input LC connectors of the FOX switcher
(the right-hand connector on each transceiver block).

Step 3 — Loop Optical Outputs

Connect up to seven fiber cables between the Loop LC connectors of the FOX switcher (the left-hand connector
on transceiver blocks 1 through 7) and compatible receivers for unswitched outputs (each input loops through to
its associated output only).
