About the FOX Matrix Switchers
The FOX matrix switchers (see figure 1 for a FOX Matrix 14400
example) are configurable matrix switchers that distributes optical
signals. Fiber optic I/O boards route signals that are compatible with
all Extron FOX 500, FOXBOX, FOX 3G HD-SDI, and FOX 2G fiber
optic product lines. The matrix switcher routes any input signal to
any combination of outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal that is generated by
Extron fiber optic transmitters, can include video, stereo audio,
and transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial communication. The video
component of the signal can be RGB video, Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video, SDI/HD-SDI video, or low resolution video, depending on
the transmitter and receiver.

The FOX matrix switcher is assembled from individual input/output
(I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to 9 (FOX Matrix 14400) or
20 (FOX Matrix 320x) I/O boards, each of which supports 16 inputs by
16 outputs. The two types of I/O boards are:

The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet LAN
port or either of two serial ports, one on the rear panel and one on the front panel, using either the Windows-based Extron Matrix
Switchers Control Program or the SIS.
The switcher has two (FOX Matrix 14400) or four (FOX Matrix 320x)
internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 400-watt
power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility and
reliability.

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,

NOTES: • Compatible optical signals are digital signals from
270 Mbps through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and
received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules. The FOX matrix switchers support all
compatible optical signals, whether transmitted or
received by an Extron fiber optic system component or
not.
• The FOX transmitter-to-receiver communications,
including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher
input and output..
This matrix switcher can also support the FOX return
(receiver-to-transmitter) serial communications, but
returning this signal stream to the transmitter occupies
a separate matrix switcher input and output.
By adding or removing I/O boards, you can expand and contract the FOX matrix switcher from an 16-input by 16-output matrix up to a
144-input by 144-output matrix (FOX Matrix 14400) or 320-input by
320-output matrix (FOX Matrix 320x).
NOTE:
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 matrix switcher, but you must ensure that you
connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the board.
