About this Guide

This user guide contains information needed to install, conﬁgure, and operate the Extron

FOX T/R USBExtenderPlus and the FOX T/R HID Only USB Extender Plus transmitter

and receiver pairs. Additional product information can be found on the Extron Electronics

website at www.extron.com.

In this guide, the term “extender” refers to either the transmitter or the receiver. Differences

between the transmitter and receiver are noted. Unless otherwise speciﬁed, the product

name “FOX T/R USB Extender Plus” refers to both the standard and the HID-only

extenders.

FOX T/R USB Extender Plus • Introduction

About the FOX T/R USB Extender Plus

The FOX T/R USB Extender Plus is a USB transmitter and receiver pair that extends USB

signals over ﬁber optic cabling. It is compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices with

transfer data rates up to 480 Mbps. It features peripheral emulation, an active four-port hub

that supplies 5 V, 500 mA per port, and real-time system monitoring.

The FOX HID Only USB Extender Plus models extend the usable distance of USB human

interface peripheral devices (HID) and smart card readers. HID peripherals include standard

keyboards, mice, hubs and other devices that do not require special USB device drivers.

In addition, the FOX T/R USB Extender Plus can work with an Extron FOX matrix switcher.

Multiple transmitters and receivers can be connected to switcher inputs and outputs that

are tied together (see Connecting Multiple Extenders to a FOX Matrix Switcher on

page 15).

The transmitters and receivers are available in singlemode and multimode versions, which

are differentiated by the type of ﬁber optic cable that deﬁnes their range of transmission:

• Singlemode — Up to 30 kilometers (18.6 miles)

• Multimode (OM1, 62.5 µm) — Up to 300 meters (985 feet)

• Multimode (OM2, 50 μm) — Up to 1 kilometer (3280 feet)

• Multimode OM3 and OM4 — Up to 2 kilometers (6561 feet)

NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,

with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this guide, any reference

applies to either transmission mode model unless otherwise specified.

A FOX T/R USB Extender Plus system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The

transmitter connects directly to a USB port on a PC or USB host. The receiver features a

four port USB hub to connect multiple peripheral USB devices. The transmitter and receiver

both feature a front panel USB host activity LED, power indicator, and a ﬁber cable Link LED

for local or remote troubleshooting.

NOTE: The only visible difference between the standard and HID-only models is an “HID

Only” label on the enclosures of the HID-only models.

The FOX USB Extender Plus complies with the USB 2.0 standard, supporting USB 3.0 and

2.0 (480 Mbps high speed), USB 1.1 (12 Mbps full speed), and USB 1.0 (1.5 Mbps low

speed) for data transmission throughout the system. It also supplies +5 VDC (up to 500 mA)

of power on each of the receiver USB peripheral ports.

Features

• Extends USB peripherals very long distances over fiber optic cabling —

Supports long-distance KVM extension when used with FOX Series DisplayPort, HDMI,

DVI, and VGA products from Extron.

• Supports USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices with data transfer rates up to

480 Mbps — Allows high speed data transfer between the host and a mass storage

device such as a USB flash drive.

• Integrated four-port hub with 5 Volts, 500 mA available on each port of the

receiver — Allows simultaneous connection to multiple peripheral devices such as

mass storage devices, keyboards, mice, and other Human Interface Devices (HID).

• Peripheral emulation — Offers increased system reliability by emulating a continuous

connection between the host and an HID-compliant keyboard and mouse.

FOX T/R USB Extender Plus • Introduction 2

• Supports USB data transfers — Supports bulk, control, interrupt, and isochronous

transfers.

• Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring — Provide

visual confirmation of port activity between an active host and each connected

peripheral device.

• Extron FOX matrix switcher compatibility — Distributes signals up to 1000x1000

and larger.

• Available in multimode and singlemode models —

• An 850 nm multimode model for moderate-range transmissions up to 2 km

(1.25 miles).

• A 1310 nm singlemode model for long distances up to 30 km (18.75 miles).

• Industry standard LC SFP connectors provide reliable physical connectivity and

precise fiber core alignment.

• JITC Certified — Successfully completed interoperability and information assurance

testing for use in government applications and other mission-critical environments.

• 1 inch (2.5 cm) high, 6 inches (15 cm) deep, quarter rack wide metal enclosures.

• External power supply — Highly reliable, energy-efficient universal power supply

provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low

power consumption for reduced operating costs.

USB System Architecture

A USB system architecture refers to the physical bus topology of USB devices connected

to a host device. USB devices include USB hubs, USB peripheral devices, or compound

devices (devices with a combination of USB hubs and USB peripheral devices built into it).

The system is organized in a tiered star topology to prevent multiple or circular attachments

to the bus. Each tier represents a degree of separation from the host device. Per USB

speciﬁcations, there are seven supported tiers, starting with the host device (or root hub)

occupying the ﬁrst tier.

NOTE: Do not connect more than five daisy-chained hubs to the root hub. The

architecture does not support peripheral devices connected to USB hubs occupying

the seventh tier.

Figure 1. Tiered Star Topology Example for a Computer with Four Monitors

NOTE: Some computers include multiple hubs already connected to each other,

occupying multiple tiers in the topology. For example, many computers with USB ports

on the front and rear panels or computers with a built-in USB hub and a compound

USB peripheral device (such as a touch display) occupy two tiers. For information

about USB hubs used in Extron products, see the USB Hub Usage Chart on

www.extron.com.

To review the USB system architecture, count all the cascading hubs (including USB hubs

enclosed in computers and compound devices) between the host device and the last USB

peripheral device.

NOTE: If the host device runs Windows

or macOS™ operating systems, use the

following programs to view the hierarchical relationships between USB devices:

• Windows: Device Manager

• macOS: System Proﬁler or System Information
