PowerCage 1600 Enclosure • Setup Guide
The Extron
®
PowerCage 1600 is a rack-mountable, 16-slot enclosure with vents, fans, an
integrated power supply, and optional redundant power supply that supports PowerCage
transmitter and receiver boards. PowerCage fiber optic (FOX) boards and PowerCage
twisted pair (MTP) boards are mounted within the PowerCage Enclosure and can be used
in any combination. Each optional board operates independently of the others, creating an
integrated system of individual transmitters and receivers, not a matrixed system.

NOTES: The front panel

Cover all empty board
slots; DO NOT leave them
open. Securely fasten the
retaining screws for
boards and blank panels.
Heed the following safety information when installing or servicing the PowerCage system:
CAUTION: The PowerCage uses double pole/neutral fusing. Power must be disconnected before servicing internal
components. Do not leave empty board slots open or uncovered while the unit is powered on.
Installation
Step 1: Install the redundant power supply and transmitter and receiver boards.
Refer to the model-specific guide for each PowerCage transmitter and receiver board you are installing. Some boards have
switches that must be set before installation. The guides describe the features of each board and how to set up and cable it.
NOTES: The boards are hot-swappable; they can be installed or removed without turning off or disconnecting the
power to the PowerCage Enclosure. 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.
a. Remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the
rear of the PowerCage Enclosure as necessary for the number of
new boards to be installed. Save the screws for use in step 3.
b. Hold the board with the signal connectors towards
you and the LED at the top, and align the top and
bottom grooves of the board with the slide
posts in the selected enclosure slot. See
the figure at right.
c. Carefully slide the board into the slot,
aligning the two tabs on the lower
front end of the board with the
matching ports in the enclosure.
Push the board firmly into place.
Tighten the screws to secure the board
in place.
d. Repeat steps b and c for all boards
needing installation.
NOTE: Use a tool to fully tighten the screws after
initial installation and subsequent removal
and replacement of the boards.
e. If desired, connect power to the enclosure and verify that the fans, boards, and LEDs power up correctly; then
disconnect power.

Step 2: Mount the enclosure to an equipment rack.
Attach the included mounting brackets to the sides of the enclosure, then fasten the brackets to the rack. The brackets can
be attached at either the front or the back.
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.
Step 3: Connect A/V and control cables.
Refer to the setup guides and user guides for the models of transmitter and receiver boards you are installing for details on
how to cable and set up each board.
Some fiber optic boards include pass-through RS-232 connections.
Some boards have mode switches.
Some MTP twisted pair boards include picture adjustment or peaking controls.
Step 4: Connect power and test the system.
a. Connect power to the PowerCage enclosure and to the input and output devices.
b. Verify that the PowerCage fans, boards, and LEDs power up correctly. The green Power LED should be lit for each
installed and securely seated power supply and fan. Press the Comm Select button and view the front panel: each time
you press the button, the Power LED that corresponds to the currently selected, installed transmitter or receiver board
should light.
c. Ensure that A/V signals input to the boards are
output at the correct devices. If they are not,
correct cabling
and check
switch settings
(if applicable
for installed
models) on the
PowerCage
boards.
