Introduction

This guide describes the Extron PowerCage 1600 Modular Power Enclosure and how to install,

conﬁgure, and operate the enclosure and its optional transmitter and receiver boards. Throughout

this guide “PowerCage” and “the enclosure” refer to the PowerCage 1600 Enclosure.

This section of the guide covers the following topics:

 Overview  Features  System Example

Overview

The PowerCage 1600 is a rack-mountable, 16-slot enclosure with vents, fans, and an

integrated power supply (or redundant power supplies) that supports a wide range of Extron ber optic and twisted pair AV transmitter and receiver boards. It provides an efcient way

to power and mount multiple transmitters and receivers.

A PowerCage system can include any combination of PowerCage ﬁber optic (FOX) boards and PowerCage twisted pair (MTP) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure.

Each optional board operates independently of the others. This is an integrated system of

individual transmitters and receivers, not a matrixed system.

 Versatile input-output options — The PowerCage 1600 accommodates up to

16 single-slot or 8 double-slot FOX ﬁber optic boards and MTP twisted pair boards.

 3U, rack-mountable enclosure — The enclosure streamlines installation and eliminates

individual power supplies for each transmitter and receiver.

PowerCage 1600 Enclosure • Introduction 1

 Modular, field-upgradeable, and hot-swappable design — The transmitter and

receiver boards, and primary and redundant power supplies, are hot-swappable, allowing components to be added or replaced at any time without powering down the system. This is useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous operation.

 Efficient power management — Each PowerCage board can power down internal

components when no active signal is present, providing increased system efﬁciency.

 Optional redundant power supply — For continuous, mission-critical applications

where power reliability is crucial, add a redundant power supply, part number 70-784-01.

 Thermal management — The PowerCage enclosure provides channeled air ﬂow to

each board for optimal cooling and reliable operation.

PowerCage FOX Fiber Optic Extender Boards

The ﬁber optic transmitter and receiver boards:

 Are available in singlemode or multimode versions.  Support standard denition or high resolution video, HDMI, stereo audio, and RS-232

over a single ber. They extend high resolution RGB, DVI-D, multi-rate SDI, standard

resolution component, S-video, or composite video extreme distances.

NOTE: Two bers are needed when transmitting an HDCP signal.

 Deliver pixel-for-pixel image quality for high resolution video. All digital, zero

compression transmission ensures image quality over long distances at high resolutions.

 Provide alarm notiﬁcation for ﬁber link loss and can be set up to trigger an external

control system for immediate notiﬁcation when a ﬁber link has been lost.

 PowerCage FOX DVI, DVI Plus, and VGA Fiber Optic Extenders are compatible with and

can be mixed and matched with FOXBOX and FOX 500 Series transmitters and receivers

for versatile system designs and congurations, including ultra-long distance DVI-toanalog RGB and RGB-to-DVI conversion.

 Include the following models:

 PowerCage FOX VGA — Fiber Optic Extender for VGA, Audio, and RS-232  PowerCage FOX DVI, PowerCage FOX DVI Plus — Fiber Optic Extender for DVI,

Audio, and RS-232

 PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI — Fiber Optic Extender for Multi-Rate SDI  PowerCage FOX AV — Fiber Optic Extender for Video, Audio, and RS-232  PowerCage FOX HDMI — Fiber Optic Extender for HDMI, Audio, and RS-232

PowerCage MTP Twisted Pair Boards

The twisted pair transmitter and receiver boards:

 Support standard deﬁnition or high resolution video, and audio or RS-232 over a single

CAT 5/5e/6 (shielded or unshielded) cable. They transmit and receive high resolution RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, and composite video long distances.

 Include the following models:

 PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA — MTP Twisted Pair Transmitter for VGA and Audio

or RS-232

 PowerCage MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ — MTP Twisted Pair Receiver for VGA and

Audio or RS-232 with Skew Equalization

 PowerCage MTP T AV — MTP Twisted Pair Transmitter for Composite or S-video

and Audio

 PowerCage MTP R AV — MTP Twisted Pair Receiver for Composite or S-video and Audio

Installation

Topics covered in this section of the guide include the following:

 Enclosure and Rear Panel Features  Installing the Transmitter and Receiver Board into the Enclosure  Mounting the Unit  Cabling and Testing

The boards and power supplies are hot-swappable and can be installed or replaced at any

time. However, the most convenient way to proceed with initial installation is as follows:

1. Install the optional redundant power supply and transmitter and receiver boards in the

enclosure.

NOTES: • Cover all empty board slots; do not leave them open. Securely fasten the

screws for boards and blank panels.

• Use a tool to fully tighten the screws after initial installation and

subsequent removal and replacement of the boards.

2. Mount the enclosure to an equipment rack.

3. Connect cables to the transmitter and receiver boards and to input and output devices.

4. Connect the power cable to the unit and test the system.

Heed the following safety information when installing or servicing the PowerCage system:

CAUTION: The PowerCage uses double pole/neutral fusing.

Power must be disconnected before servicing internal components. Do not leave empty board slots open or uncovered while the unit is

powered on.
