5 Connecting external devices
5.1 Preparation
Prepare necessary cables before connecting external devices such as source and sink devices.
● For digital I/O slot board: DVI cable
● For HDBaseT I/O slot board: HDBaseT cable
● Optical I/O slot board: Optical fiber cable
■ DVI cable
For DVI input and output, please use a single-link cable of DVI-I or DVI-D (male connector). Analog
signals cannot be input or output, and dual link is not supported. If you use a 5 m/16.4 ft. or longer cable
for input or output, please use an IDK’s cable (AWG24).
[Fig. 5.1] Single sink long cable
For HDMI connectors, please use one of the following conversion cables.
[Fig. 5.2] Conversion cable (HDMI-DVI conversion)
Note: Since DVI signals are very fast, use a cable meeting the DVI Rev1.0 standard. (IDK’s cables meet the
standard.)
■ HDBaseT cable
Use a UTP/STP cable meeting Cat5e/Cat6 standard.
■ Optical fiber cable
Use a duplex fiber whose both sides have a LC connector or two simplex fibers. The length of the cable
must meet the standard of the extended distance.

FDX-64 Users Guide
5.2 Precautions before connection
■ For installation
● If connecting a cable to the FDX or an external device that connected to the FDX, touch grounded metal to
remove electricity from your body before holding the cable.
● Do not block vent holes.
Keep 30 mm/1.18 inches or bigger space from the FDX.
● Do not install the FDX in a closed space.
If you must install the FDX in a closed space (EIA rack mount), install an additional ventilation space in
order to keep the ambient temperature at 40 degrees C/104 degrees F or less. If inadequately vented, the
life of parts may be shortened and operations may be affected.
■ Cabling
● Read manuals of the external devices.
● Turn off devices and then connect them.
● Be sure to plug cables in completely and install them without any stress on connectors.
■ Attaching rack mounting brackets
1. Remove two M5 screws from one side of the unit. Retain the screws for step 2.
2. Attach one bracket to the side of the unit using the screws removed in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the unit.
Note : The standard screw tightening torque is 2.94 N・m (about 30 kgf・cm).
■HDBaseT cable <Read the following precautions when installing an HDBaseT I/O slot board.>
Even though the connector for a long-distance transmission is the same as eight-core connector that is
used for Ethernet, the transmission method is different. As a result, the connector for a long-distance
transmission cannot be connected to Ethernet.
Please use a correct HDBaseT cable and install it correctly to maximize the performance of this product.
● We recommend a Cat6 UTP/STP cable for the HDBaseT cable between the transmitter and receiver.
If using an STP cable, connect the FG connector to an earth ground source. Otherwise, the shielding
function does not work correctly. When using a UTP cable, we still recommend that you use the ground
connector.
● For 50 m/164.04 feet or shorter transmissions, Cat5e UTP/STP cable also can be used.
● The shielded STP cables are less affected by interference or external noise than UTP cables.
● The maximum extension distance of Cat5e/Cat6 UTP/STP cable is the shortest maximum extension
distance of the connected HDC transmitter, HDC receiver and sink device.
● For pin assignments, apply T568A or T568B straight through cabling.
● Do not give connection cables a strong pull. The allowable tension of the HDBaseT cable is 110 N.
● Do not bend the connection cable at a sharp angle. Keep the bend radius four times of the cable
diameter or more.
● Keep the HDBaseT cable as straight as you can. If you coil the cable, it is easily affected by noise.
● Do not tie the cable tightly; leave a space allowing the cable to move slightly.
● If you use the same cables, we recommended keeping distance between the cables or not to place
the cables closely in parallel.
● Do not place this product in an electrically noisy environment, since high-speed signals are transmitted.
Video or audio may be interrupted especially when you use a high-output radio around the FDX.

● If the distance between the FDX and transmitter/receiver is 100 m/328.08 ft. or less, a cable joint can be
used. Up to two cable joints are allowed and joints supporting Cat6A (10GBase-T) are recommended.
Note: If there is a problem in the transmission path, video or audio may be interrupted. Please check the
items above. If the problem still cannot be resolved, shorten the length of the HDBaseT cable.
■Optic fiber cable [Read this instruction when mounting an optical I/O slot board.]
To ensure the best performance of the FDX, select the appropriate optical fiber cable for a long- distance
transmission and connect it correctly.
● Use a duplex fiber or two simplex fiber cables with LC connectors at both ends.
To polish connectors:
For SFP module for multimode: PC polishing is recommended.
For SFP module for singlemode: UPC polishing is recommended.
Note: APC polishing is not supported.
● Make sure that the fiber optical cable to be connected between the FDX and transmitter/receiver
meets the standard of the desired extension distance.
● Extension distance varies depending on attenuation of the fiber, connector and other contact portions.
● Before inserting or removing the fiber, make sure to first turn the FDX off and not to touch the ends of
the fiber. Clean them up before inserting the cable again.
♦ Simplex fiber and duplex fiber:
Simplex fiber has an optic fiber and a connector at both ends while duplex fiber has two fibers and two
connectors. The duplex fiber cable is recommended for the FDX, but signals can be transmitted using two
simplex fiber cables.
♦ LC connector:
One of connectors for fiber optical cables. (Example: SC connector, FC connector, ST connector, MU
connector)
■SFP module [Read this instruction when mounting an optical I/O slot board.]
The fiber type and extension distance to be used vary depending on the SFP module.
[Table 5.1] Specifications of standard SFP modules
* Some SFP modules for singlemode can extend the transmission distance up to 30 km with OS1.
Please contact us if needed.
Notes:
● Plug the dust cap to the fiber optical cable if you do not use it.
● Do not use the SFP module for other devices. Do not connect the optic fiber cable that is connected to
other devices to the SFP module; otherwise, the SFP module may be broken. The maximum receiving
optical level of the SFP module in the FDX is 0 dBm
● If you need to replace the SFP module, please contact us.
