Introduction

The Extron FOX Matrix Series is a family of high performance,

modular ﬁber optic matrix switchers for complete, end-to-end

digital AV signal transmission and routing over ﬁber optic cable.

The FOXMatrixSeries products are expandable from 8x8 up to

320x320, depending on the model, and are fully compatible with

the FOXSeries of ﬁber optic transmitters and receivers. They accept

and route standard deﬁnition video, high resolution computer-video,

HDMI, DVI-D, and multi-rate SDI. Equipped with the integration-

friendly features common to Extron matrix switchers, together with

hot-swappable I/O boards and fan, real-time system monitoring, and

redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, the FOXMatrixSeries

delivers highly reliable, enterprise-wide switching of ﬁber optic AV

and control signals for any mission-critical environment.

Designed for Today and Tomorrow

The FOX Matrix Series features Extron exclusive, all-digital ﬁber optic

transmission and supports the highest resolutions for both digital

video and analog video standards. This enables easy conversion

from digital to analog and vice versa when using two compatible

FOX Series products, such as the FOXBOXDVI Plus and the

FOXBOXVGA.

Designers concerned with supporting the higher resolutions of

tomorrow are turning to a ﬁber optic infrastructure for its ability to

carry large amounts of information. Fiber is one of the only cabling

solutions that can support both the high-speed signals of today

and the even higher speed signals of the future. The Extron FOX

Series of products includes matrix switchers, transmitters, receivers,

switchers, distribution ampliﬁers, and signal processors to support a

complete ﬁber optic AV infrastructure.

Engineered for Mission-Critical Applications

The FOX Matrix Series is designed for optimum performance and

reliability in applications requiring continuous operations

24 hours a day, seven days a week, such as in government, military,

and medical installations.

Real-time Monitoring for Reliable Performance

A real-time monitoring system continuously provides self-diagnostics

of the I/O boards, ﬁber links, power supplies, internal fans, and

general functions of the switcher. LED indicators on each I/O

board provide a quick veriﬁcation of input signal presence as well

as the status of ﬁber links with the transmitters and receivers. The

FOXMatrixSeries can be conﬁgured to trigger an external control

system, or generate e-mail alerts, when an inbound ﬁber link has

been lost.

Hot-Swappable Design Maximizes Uptime

The FOX Matrix Series is designed for continuous operation. Each

I/O board is hot-swappable so that the matrix switcher can be

serviced or reconﬁgured without interrupting all signal routing by

powering down the unit. The FOXMatrixSeries also features hot-

swappable fans and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies to

ensure continuous, uninterrupted power.

Low Power Operation

The FOX Matrix Series features an energy-efﬁcient design for simpler

cooling, lower energy costs, and extended life. Through efﬁciency

of design and the careful selection of high quality, long-life electronic

components, fully-loaded FOXMatrixSeries matrix switchers draw

less power than comparable ﬁber optic matrix switchers. Low power

consumption means less heat generation, which translates to a

lower cost of ownership and an increased product lifespan.

Modular Field-Upgradeable Design

The FOX Matrix Series is a modular design featuring multiple board

slots. Each slot accepts a FOX Matrix I/O Board having eight ports

or sixteen ports, depending on the model, populated with LC-

type ﬁber optic connectors. FOXMatrix I/O Boards are available in

either multimode or singlemode versions. The multimode versions

support multimode ﬁber at 850 nm, which is typically used within

buildings or facilities with moderate-range transmission distances.

The singlemode versions support singlemode as well as multimode

ﬁber at 1310 nm. Singlemode ﬁber offers long-range transmission

capability over extreme distances of many kilometers or miles. It is

used in very large facilities, such as hospitals and stadiums, and

for connecting over very long distances between facilities such as

university campuses.
