FOX DA8 Plus • Setup Guide

This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the

Extron FOX DA8 Plus ﬁber optic distribution ampliﬁer. See the drawing on the next page.

WARNING: This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes;

use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the

optical transceivers when the ﬁber optic cable is unplugged.

Installation

Step 1 — Mounting

Turn off or disconnect the power sources to all equipment and mount the FOX DA8 Plus as desired.

Step 2 — Conguration

Set the rear panel DA conﬁguration switch to conﬁgure the unit as either one 8-output DA, two 4-output DAs, or four 2-output DAs.

See the drawing below.

Connect a ﬁber optic transmitter (or the maximum number of inputs as determined by the DA conﬁguration switch

position in step 2) to the FOX DA8 Plus rear panel input connector.

NOTES:•Inputs 3, 5, and 7 (the right-hand connector on those transceiver blocks) are functional only when

selected as an input using the DA conﬁguration switch.

•The right-hand connector for transceiver blocks 2, 4, 6, and 8 can never be functional.

•Singlemode and multimode devices are not interchangeable. Ensure that you connect transmitting and

receiving devices that are compatible with the FOX DA8 Plus.

•Ensure that you use the proper ﬁber cable for your system. Typically, singlemode ﬁber has a yellow jacket

and multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.

Step 4 — Optical Outputs

Connect up to eight ﬁber cables between the FOX DA Output LC connectors (the left-hand connector on each

transceiver block) and compatible receivers.

Step 5 — Remote Control Connections

Do not tin the wires!
