Celerity FOG-TXCB User manual

Product Overview
Celerity Fiber Optic Gateway (FOG) products are designed for high performance, dependability
and convenient installation in professional AV applications. The FOG-TXCB (transmitter) and
FOG-RXCB (receiver) control boxes support HDMI, RS232, IR, USB HID (USB v1.1) and Ethernet
10/100BASE-T connections up to 1000 feet over Celerity fiber optic cable without the need for
field terminations.
Slim and compact at slightly more then .5” thin, the FOG-TXCB and FOG-RXCB are easily installed
in equipment racks, structured wiring panels, conference room furnishings, and telecommunication
centers via detachable mounting flanges. Discreet mounting behind AV equipment and high
definition flat panel displays is easily accomplished by the slim profile of FOG-TXCB and FOG-
RXCB.
FOG-TXCB and FOG-RXCB work in pairs and may be interchanged with other Celerity Fiber Optic
Gateway products such as FOG-TXWP and FOG-RXWP for further system design and installation
flexibility.
Connection is made between the FOG-TXCB and FOG-RXCB with a Celerity Fiber Optic Gateway
cable available in lengths from 35’ to 1000’ (12.2m to 305m) which connect to the FOG control
boxes via a secure, mini digital connector. FOG-TXCB and FOG-RXCB are sold separately.

Installing the Fiber Optic Gateway
Paying close attention to the “direction” of the Celerity Fiber Optic Gateway cable, install the fiber optic cable
in the required pathway between the source components and the display components. At each end of the
Celerity FOG cable is a mini digital connector. Place the T labeled mini-connector at the source location.
Extend the fiber optic cable to the display (R). The Celerity Fiber Optic mini digital connectors are clearly
marked for T (source) and R (display) and must be installed correctly.
Determine the placement of the FOG-TXCB at the source (transmitting) location; securely attach the FOG-TX-
CB as required using the mounting flanges (included) and appropriate screws matching the mounting surface
(not included). Position the FOG-TXCB for clear access to the connector panel and the Celerity Fiber Optic
Gateway cable mini digital connector. The connector markings have been conveniently placed on the top
surface of the FOG-TX/RXCB to provide easy viewing. Follow similar procedures for installing the FOG-RXCB
at the receiving location.
NOTE: Pay particular attention to the TX (TX = source) and RX (RX = display) designations. The FOG-TX-
CB should be located with the source components (Main equipment rack, Blu-ray,set-top box etc) and the
FOG-RXCB should be located with the display components (HDTV, etc).
NOTE: Celerity Fiber Optic Gateway cable is not compatible with Celerity Fiber Optic HDMI
Detachable Connectors.
LED Display Indicators
On the top surface of the FOG-TXCB and FOG-RXCB are blue and orange LEDs which will illuminate when
the cables are correctly connected. The LED for the Fiber Optic Cable connection will illuminate with the
cables connected in the proper direction and the FOG-CB are powered. If the blue LED does not illuminate
ensure that the fiber optic cable is installed in the proper direction and correctly matched at the Fiber Optic
Gateway (ie. T connected to T and R connected to R) and the power is connected (a blue LED will illuminate
above the power connection when power is activated).

Making Connections
Transmitter Connections - FOG-TXCB
HDMI High Speed cable (not included) from HDMI source component (Blu-ray, set-top box, etc) to HDMI input (port 2) on
FOG-TXCB.
Connect a DB-9 to RJ45 cable (not included) from the RS232 component (AV controller, computer, etc) to the FOG-TXCB
“RS232” input (RJ45 female, port 7), connect with a CAT5/6 cable to the precise length required (refer to the RJ45-DB9
diagram).
Connect an IR emitter (included) to the IR TX port (port 3). IR information sent from the FOG-TXCB connected to FOG-
RXCB will be emitted for the purpose of controlling a component with an IR remote (place the emitter over a component’s
IR window).
Connect an IR receiver (included) to IR RX port (port 4). The IR receiver will send IR information from the FOG-TXCB to the
FOG -RXCB for the purpose of controlling a component attached to the FOG-TXCB.
Connect USB cable to host device (computer) (port 5).
Connect Ethernet cable (not included) from your network to FOG-TXCB “Ethernet” input (RJ45 female, port 6).
Connect USB power cable and USB-AC adapter from FOG-TXCB (port 8) to AC main power connection. The blue LED on
the top panel of FOG-TXCB will illuminate when power is activated.
Receiver Connections - FOG-RXCB
Connect HDMI High Speed cable (not included) from HDMI display component (HDTV, etc) to HDMI output on FOG-RXCB.
Connect a RJ45 cable (not included) from FOG-RXCB “RS232” output (RJ45 female, port 7) to the required RS232 connector
port on the component to be controlled (HDTV, etc), connect with a CAT5/CAT6 cable to the precise length required.
Connect an IR emitter (included) to the IR TX port (port 3). IR information sent from the FOG-RXCB connected to FOG-
TXCB will be emitted for the purpose of controlling a component with an IR remote (place the emitter over a component’s
IR window).
Connect an IR receiver (included) to IR RX port (port 4). The IR receiver will send IR information from the FOG-RXCB to the
FOG-TXCB for the purpose of controlling a device attached to the FOG-RXCB.
Connect USB cable (not included) to the USB HID product such as touchscreen display, keyboard or mouse (USB, port 5).
Connect Ethernet cable (not included) from FOG-RXCB “Ethernet” input (RJ-45 female, port 6) to the Ethernet port on the
receiving component.
Connect USB power cable and USB-AC adapter from FOG-RXCB (port 8) to AC main power connection. The blue LED on
the top panel of FOG-RXCB will illuminate when power is activated.

RS232 (female) to RJ45 (male) pin-out diagram
The following is the recommended pin-out diagram for creating a RS232-RJ45 cable for use with the Fiber
Optic Gateway. You may also use a 3rd party cable or one already in your possession. Celerity FOG RS232
ports only support Ground, Transmit Data and Receive Data connections as highlighted in the diagram below.
Maximum baud rate is 1 Mbps.
