| PowerCage™ FOX AEX 104 |
| NOTE | The PowerCage FOX AEX 104 is not compatible with the Extron FOX 3G HD-SDI extender or the FOX 3G DVC signal converter. |
|
| NOTE | Analog audio signals are digitized in a fiber optic transmitter, sent through the fiber cable to the matrix switcher, then the PowerCage FOX AEX 104, and converted back to analog audio in the PowerCage FOX AEX 104 or the receiver. |
|
| NOTE | These units are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825. |
