Specifications
N
The analog RGB input signal is digitized pixel for pixel in the
transmitter, sent digitally through the fiber cable, and converted
back to analog RGB in the receiver.
N
The analog audio signal(s) is (are) digitized in the transmitter,
sent through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog audio
in the receiver.
Optical specifications
Number/type ................................ 6 fiber optic outputs
N
Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and
unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to transmit return
data for bidirectional control/communication on receiver 1.

cables with a FOX 500 DA6 MM
N
Operating distance is approximate. These are typical
distances. The maximum distance may be greater than these
typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber
bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic
dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
