PowerCage™ FOX AEX 104 and
PowerCage™ FOX II AEX 104 • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron PowerCage FOX AEX 104 and
PowerCage FOX II AEX 104 Fiber Audio Extractors. The extractors are double boards for the PowerCage 1600 enclosure
that extract audio from ber optic systems to be routed to ampliers or DSP processors. The extractors can be implemented
anywhere in a ber optic system where local audio-only outputs are required. This may include the input or output side of a ber
matrix system or in a point-to-point application between two ber optic endpoints.

WARNING: Do not look into the rear panel ber optic cable connectors or into the ber optic cables themselves.
Avertissement: Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble bre optique sur le panneau arrière ou dans les câbles
bre optique eux-mêmes.

Installation
Step 1 — Select the Input Data Rate.
The DIP switch on the main board switches the extractor between 2G and 4G input data rates. Using an Extron Tweeker
or small screwdriver, move DIP switch 2 up (On position) for 2G input data rates or down (Off position) for 4G input data
rates. DIP switch 1 is a spare. The default rate is 4G (Off or down).
ATTENTION:
• Ensure all ber extenders within the system are compatible with the selected input data rate.
• Assurez-vous que tous les extendeurs bres dans le système soient compatibles avec le débit de données d’entrée
sélectionné.
NOTE: 2G and 4G data rates apply to all inputs. These selectable rates are not for individual inputs.
Step 2 — Install the Board.
ATTENTION:
• Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it.
Keep the board in the anti-static bag until it is needed. Use proper
grounding techniques during installation.
