Information
This section discusses the specifications, part numbers, and accessories for the
FOXBOX Tx/Rx. Topics that are covered, include:
• Specifications
• Part Numbers
• Mounting the Transmitter and Receiver
Specifications
NOTES: • The FOXBOX consists of a transmitter (FOXBOX Tx DVI, DVI Plus, VGA, or VGA/YUV) and a receiver
(FOXBOX Rx DVI, DVI Plus, or VGA) with one or two fiber optic cables linking the two units. They are available in
singlemode or multimode versions.
• The FOXBOX Tx DVI Plus transmitter is compatible only with the FOXBOX Rx DVI Plus receiver.
• For the VGA models, the analog RGB input signal is digitized pixel for pixel in the transmitter, sent digitally through
the fiber cable, and converted back to analog RGB in the receiver.
• 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.
• 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.
Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver
Number/type ............................... 1 or 2 fiber optic
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 ................................. 2 LC connectors
Operating distance
Singlemode ...................... 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a FOXBOX SM
Multimode ....................... 300 m (985') with 62.5 µm multimode (MM) cables with a FOXBOX MM
1 km (3280') with 50 µm multimode (MM) cables with a FOXBOX MM
2 km (6561') with 50 µm 2000 MHz bandwidth laser optimized multimode cable with a
FOXBOX MM
NOTE: Operating distance is approximate. These are typical maximum distances that may vary depending on factors such as
fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
