PowerCage 1600 Enclosure • Introduction 1

A PowerCage system can include any combination of PowerCage fiber optic (FOX) boards

and PowerCage twisted pair (MTP) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure.

Each optional board operates independently of the others to form an integrated system of

individual transmitters and receivers, rather than a matrixed system.

Features

PowerCage Enclosure and System

• Versatile input-output options — The PowerCage 1600 accommodates up to

16single-slot or 8 double-slot FOX fiber optic boards and MTP twisted pair boards.

• 3U, rack-mountable enclosure — The enclosure streamlines installation and

eliminates individual power supplies for each transmitter and receiver.

• Modular, field-upgradeable, and hot-swappable design — The transmitter and

receiver boards, and the primary and redundant power supplies, are hot-swappable,

thus allowing components to be added or replaced at any time without powering

down the system. This is useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous

operation.

• Efficient power management — Each PowerCage board can power down internal

components when no active signal is present, providing increased system efficiency.

• Optional redundant power supply — For continuous, mission-critical applications

where power reliability is crucial, add a redundant power supply, part number 70-784-01.

• Thermal management — The PowerCage enclosure provides channeled air flow to

each board for optimal cooling and reliable operation.

PowerCage FOX Fiber Optic Extender Boards

The fiber optic transmitter and receiver boards:

• Are available in singlemode or multimode versions.

• Support standard definition or high resolution video, HDMI, stereo audio, and RS-232

over a single fiber. They extend high resolution RGB, DVI-D, multi-rate SDI, standard

resolution component, S-video, or composite video extreme distances.

NOTE: Two fibers are needed when transmitting an HDCP signal.

• Deliver pixel-for-pixel image quality for high resolution video. All digital, zero compression

transmission ensures image quality over long distances at high resolutions.

• Provide alarm notification for fiber link loss and can be set up to trigger an external

control system for immediate notification when a fiber link has been lost.

• PowerCage FOX DVI, DVI Plus, and VGA Fiber Optic Extenders are compatible with

and can be mixed and matched with FOXBOX and FOX500 Series transmitters and

receivers for versatile system designs and configurations, including ultra-long distance

DVI-to-analog RGB and RGB-to-DVI conversion.

the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room

ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with

the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F

(0 to +50 °C)].

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have

on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment

nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should

be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than

direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack Mounting

CAUTION: Leave open space of at least 1U on the top, bottom, and sides of the

enclosure to allow adequate air circulation and prevent overheating. Do not cover the

vents or fans.

ATTENTION : Laissez un espace ouvert d’au moins 1U en haut, en bas, et sur les

côtés du boîtier aﬁn de permettre une circulation de l’air sufﬁsante et d’empêcher la

surchauffe. Ne pas couvrir les conduits ou les ventilateurs.

NOTE: Air flows through the enclosure from right to left, as viewed from the front panel.

To rack mount the enclosure:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the enclosure, as shown in figure 6. The

brackets can be attached at either the front or the back.

2. Fasten the brackets to the rack.

1 Board status LEDs (Comm, Power, Alarm) — There is one set of these LEDs for

each of the 16 rear panel slots that is available for boards. If a board is installed in the

identically-numbered slot, the LEDs light under the following circumstances:

COMM

POWER

ALARM

Alarm LED —

Lights when the receiving (Rx) fiber link on a PowerCage FOX board is

broken

or disconnected. This feature depends on the model of PowerCage board.

This LED is not used for PowerCage MTP boards.

Comm LED — Lights when the corresponding board is selected (see

, Comm

Select

button) and, for FOX boards, can be communicated with via the Config port (

Power LED — Lights when the corresponding board receives power.

NOTE: For a double-slot board, the status LEDs light only for the lower-numbered slot.

2 Power supply (PSU) status LEDs — These pairs of LEDs correspond to the primary

(included) power supply and the redundant (optional) power supply. For each power

supply, the LEDs light as follows:

PSU

Alarm LED —

Lights when the power supply malfunctions, such as providing an

overvoltage (14 VDC or more) or undervoltage (10.5 VDC or less)

Power LED — Lights when the power supply receives power.

3 Fan status LEDs — These LEDs indicate whether the fans that cool the enclosure are

operating.

FAN

Alarm LED —

Lights when the corresponding fan malfunctions

Power LED — Lights when the corresponding fan receives power.

4 Communication selection (Comm Select) button — Press this button to select the

desired board to connect to the Config port (

). With each button press, the serial

connection changes from one active, installed board to the next. The Comm LED

(see

) for the selected board lights.

NOTES:

• When unit power is cycled (removed then restored), the serial connection

returns to the board in the lowest-numbered slot. A double-slot board

connects to the lower-numbered slot.

• The Comm LED lights for each installed, powered board as its slot is selected,

regardless of the type of board. However, RS-232 communication works

only with FOX boards; commands and queries cannot be sent to or passed

through the MTP boards.

5 Configuration and communication (Config) port — For RS-232 serial

communication with any installed board, connect a Windows-based PC or an RS-232

control system to this 2.5 mm mini stereo-style (tip-ring-sleeve) jack. Use the Extron

9-pin D to 2.5 mm stereo mini TRS RS-232 cable (part number 70-335-01, shown in

the following figure).

PowerCage 1600 Enclosure • Operation 13

RS-232 protocol varies depending on the board being communicated with, but all

boards accept this basic set of protocol:

• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity

• 8 data bits • no flow control

NOTE: This port allows serial communication to the boards only, not to the

enclosure, itself. The power supply and fan status LEDs provide feedback

about the condition of the enclosure.

6 Temperature status (Temp) LED — This LED lights when the unit as a whole is

operating at a dangerously high temperature (approximately 167 °F [75 °C]) and

equipment damage is imminent. If the Temp LED lights, power down the unit, ensure

adequate ventilation, and allow the PowerCage system to cool before restoring power.

Communicating with the Boards: Making an RS‑232 Connection

RS-232 communication works only with FOX boards; commands and queries cannot be

sent to or passed through the MTP boards. To communicate with and check some basic

information about individual installed transmitter or receiver boards, do the following:

1. Connect the serial port of a Windows-based PC or an

RS-232 control device to the front panel Config port

on the PowerCage system, and power on both

devices.

2. Set the serial connection as follows:

• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity

• 8 data bits • no flow control

3. Press the Comm Select button to select the desired

board to connect to the Config port. The Comm LED

for the selected board lights. With each button press,

the serial connection changes from one installed board

to the board installed in the next higher-numbered slot,as

shown in the following figure. (The next slot may not be

numbered contiguously with the previously selected board.)
