Extron FOX 500 DVI Tx, FOX 500 DVI Rx Fiber Optic Transmitter-Receiver Pair • Specifications
N
The FOX 500 DVI consists of a transmitter (FOX 500 DVI Tx) and a receiver (FOX 500 DVI Rx)
with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units. They are available in singlemode or
multimode versions.
N
The analog audio signal(s) is (are) digitized in the transmitter, sent through the fiber cable, and
converted back to analog audio in the receiver.
N
These transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825,
FDA 21, CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
