Conﬁgurability and transmission modes

The FOX 4G Matrix 14400 is assembled from individual input/

output (I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to nine I/O

boards, each of which supports 16 inputs by 16 outputs. The

two types of I/O boards are:

• Singlemode ﬁber optic 16x16 I/O board, equipped with

removable ber optic transceiver modules

• Multimode ﬁber optic 16x16 I/O board, equipped with

removable ber optic transceiver modules

As listed above, two versions of the ﬁber optic I/O boards

are documented in this manual. They are categorized by

the type of ﬁber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,

which deﬁnes the effective range of transmission:

•

Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 20 km

(12.43 miles)

•

Multimode — Long distance, up to 150 m (492')

By adding or removing I/O boards, you can expand and

contract the FOX 4G Matrix 14400 from an 16-input by 16-output

matrix up to a 144-input by 144-output matrix.

On a ﬁber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron,

all transceiver modules are conﬁgured the same:

either all multimode or all singlemode. You can mix

multimode and singlemode ﬁber optic I/O boards in a

FOX 4G Matrix 14400 switcher, but you must ensure that

you connect the proper transmission mode ﬁber cables to

the board.
