PowerCage FOX HDMI • Setup Guide
This guide provides quick-start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate
the Extron PowerCage FOX HDMI fiber optic extenders.
CAUTION: These units output continuous invisible light, which may
be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional
safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical
transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.

Step 1 — Mounting
Install the Tx, Rx, or both units into PowerCage enclosures as required.
NOTES: • PowerCage boards are hot-swappable.
• Ensure the boards are flush with the rear of the enclosure and
the screws are tightened securely before applying power.

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow
the LockIt bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector,
then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION : Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw.
The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the
LockIt lacing bracket as shown.
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or
similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.
c. Connect an unbalanced, stereo or mono, audio input device to the transmitter Input Audio 3.5 mm mini jack.
d. Connect a balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio device to the receiver
Output Audio captive screw connector. See the drawing at right.
ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves
to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the
sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.
e. If you want the PowerCage FOX HDMI units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a RS-232

projector, connect the master device to the transmitter and the slave device to the receiver via the left three poles
(Tx, Rx, and
_ ) of the RS-232 Over Fiber 5-pole captive screw connectors on both units.
NOTE: For RS-232 responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), you must install the Receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx cable in
step 3b and leave the receiver in normal configuration (see “ Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes “ on the next page).
