PowerCage™ FOX 3G HD-SDI • Setup Guide  
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron®  
PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI fiber optic video extender.  
The PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI Fiber Optic Extender is a modular transceiver board for the  
PowerCage 1600 enclosure, enabling long distance transmission of multi-rate SDI, HD-SDI, and  
3G-SDI video signals, with embedded audio and metadata, over a fiber cable at rates of up to  
2.97 Gbps. The PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI is compatible with the FOX 3G HD-SDI fiber optic  
multi-rate SDI transceiver, the FOX 3G DVC, and the FOX series of distribution amplifiers and  
switchers. It is available in singlemode and multimode configurations.  
WARNING: This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes. For additional safety, plug the  
attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.  
NOTE: The PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a transmitter, a receiver, or both. At least two boards  
are required for a transmitter-receiver system, with at least one fiber optic cable linking each two units.  
Installation  
16 Available Single Board  
Step 1 — Install the Board in the Enclosure

HD/SDI INPUT  
zz HD-SDI input connector — If the PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI is configured as either a bidirectional transceiver or  
as a transmitter, connect an HD-SDI, SDI, or 3G-SDI video input to this BNC connector (shown at right).  
zz Fiber optic connectors —  
NOTE: Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your transceivers.  
Typically, singlemode fiber cable has a yellow jacket and  
multimode fiber cable has an orange or aqua jacket.  
zz Tx connector In any configuration, connect a fiber optic cable to the optical Tx connector.  
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the optical Rx connector on another FOX 3G HD-SDI that is configured as a  
bidirectional transceiver or as a receiver.  
zz Rx connector In either the bidirectional transceiver or receiver configuration, connect a fiber optic cable to the  
optical Rx connector to receive the signal from the transmitting unit. Connect the free end to one of the following:  
zz In a two-transceiver system, connect the free end of this cable to the optical Tx connector on the transmitting unit,  
which is configured as a transmitter.  
zz In a daisy-chained system, connect the free end of this cable to the optical Tx connector on the previous unit  
in the daisy chain (configured as either a bidirectional transceiver or a transmitter).  
HD/SDI OUTPUTS  
zz HD/SDI output connectors — In any PowerCage FOX 3G HD-SDI configuration, connect a digital display  
to these BNC connectors (shown at right).
