l  Fiber optic ports and LEDs —
WARNING:  Potential vision damage — These units output continuous laser 
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 themselves.
•  Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is 
unplugged.
NOTES:
•  You can connect the transmitter a receiver in either of two ways:
•  One way (transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx) only — Connect fiber cable 
12a
(from transmitter connector 
é
) only.
•  Two way (transmitter to receiver and return) — See figure 5. Connect 
fiber cable 
12a
 (from transmitter connector 
é
 to the receiver) and fiber cable 
12b
back to the transmitter (connector 
è
).
•  See the transmitter fiber connector NOTES on page 8, which also apply to 
these connectors.
12a
 Rx (required) — For all one-way video, audio, and serial 
communications from the transmitter to the receiver, connect 
a fiber optic cable to the Rx LC connector.
Connect the opposite end of this fiber optic cable to the Tx 
connector on the FOX II T DP transmitter (see item 
é
 on 
page 8) or to any other compatible Extron fiber optic device.
12b
 Tx (optional) — Connect a fiber optic cable to the Tx LC 
connector for all one-way return serial communications from 
the receiver to the Rx connector on the transmitter.
NOTE:  The Tx connector emits light when the 
unit is powered and the Rx port receives light.
Connect the opposite end of this fiber optic cable to the Rx 
connector on the FOX II T DP transmitter (see item 
è
 on page 8).
Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is received).
m  DisplayPort Output connector — Connect a video display to this
