WARNING: Risk of eye injury: The receiver outputs
continuous invisible light, which may be
harmful to the eyes; use with caution.
• Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic
cable connectors or into the fiber optic
cables while the receiver is powered on.
• Plug the attached dust caps into the
optical transceivers when the fiber cable is
unplugged.
NOTE: Connect a transmitter to one or more receivers:
• One-way (transmitter Tx to receiver Rx)
only — Connect fiber cable
Ä from the
transmitter Tx connector only.
• Two-way (transmitter to receiver and
return) — Connect fiber cber cable
Å back to
the transmitter Rx connector (see figure 3).
• One-way (transmitter to receiver) with
daisy chain (receiver to receiver) —
Connect fiber cable
Ä from a fiber optic source
and cable Å to the next receiver in the daisy
chain (see figure 4). Set each receiver in the
daisy chain to daisy chain mode. Up table Ä

NOTES: • Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transmitter/receiver
pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode 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. However, if you connect
only one fiber optic cable, or if your receiver is configured to daisy-chain
the optical signal:
• The HDMI signal output by the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.
• You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.
To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, you need to install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2
enabled via an
SIS command [see page 18] or using the Signal
Processing Product Control Program [see page 24]).
