1PowerCage FOX AEX 104 • Introduction

Features

Local audio outputs — Local audio outputs for up to four FOX Series fiber optic signals, extracting analog stereo audio for independent processing and routing

Inputs — Four fiber optic LC connectors with buffered Loop-throughs

Outputs — Four 5-pole captive screw connectors for balanced or unbalanced analog stereo

audio.

Simultaneous audio extraction ports — Each port accepts signals from a FOX Series fiber

optic product to provide local analog stereo audio output, and retransmits the fiber optic signal at the original power level.

Buffered input loop-throughs — Full transmitter power on each output maximizes distance capabilities by ensuring full availability of optical loss budget.

Balanced or unbalanced analog audio outputs — Provide balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw output connectors for integration with audio processing and distribution equipment.

Output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of the digital signal.

Multimode and singlemode availability — Available as an 850 nm multimode model

for moderate-range transmissions and a 1310 nm singlemode model for extreme distances

up to 30 km (18.75 miles). A PowerCage FOX AEX 104, connected between a FOX Series

transmitter and receiver, effectively doubles the overall transmission distance capability. For singlemode applications, signals can be sent up to 60 km (37.5 miles) from a transmitter to a

receiver via the PowerCage FOX AEX 104.
