Connector and Cable Details
HDMI Connectors
HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad
video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an
image or jitter, follow these guidelines:
• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
• Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals.
To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see figure4, 1).

Figure 4. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then
tighten the screw to secure the bracket (3).
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it
fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel
elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket (4).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar
tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (5).

FOX3SR201 Scaling Receiver • Installation 10
ATTENTION:
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal length
is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly
fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les
câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un courtcircuit. S’ils sont trop
courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les
borniers à vis.
• Do not tin the wire leads before installing into the connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connector and could be pulled out. They may also break after being
bent several times.
• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles
étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être tirés. Ils
peuvent aussi se casser après avoir été pliés plusieurs fois.
• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.
L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute certification de
conformité réglementaire, et peut endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended for use with a UL Listed
power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” rated 12 VDC, 1.7 A minimum.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être utilisé avec
une source d’alimentation certifiée UL de classe 2 ou LPS avec une tension nominale
de 12 Vcc, 1.7 A minimum.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling
spaces or in wall cavities.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation
dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building
structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code
américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et du
Code canadien de l’électricité, partie 1, section 16. La source d’alimentation ne devra
pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure
similaire.
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the
power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord
negative lead (see Power Connector wiring on page9).
• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte
pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du
cordon permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation (voir Power
Connector wiring).
• To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and
check the output with a voltmeter.
• Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et
mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.

NOTES:
• The IR Tx and Rx line pair and the RS-232 Tx and Rx line pair must each cross
once between this connector and the source or destination.
• The length and preparation of exposed wires is important (see the audio connector
NOTES above for details).
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated
with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The unit supports:
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet), 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), and
1000Mbps(1000Base-T — IEEE 802.3ab) half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet
connections.
• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
• 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet requires CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 7 UTP or STP
cable.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be
properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure7).
