Connect a fiber optic transmitter (or the maximum number of inputs as determined by the DA configuration switch
position in step 2) to the FOX DA8 Plus rear panel input connector.
NOTES: • Inputs 3, 5, and 7 (the right-hand connector on those transceiver blocks) are functional only when
selected as an input using the DA configuration switch.
• The right-hand connector for transceiver blocks 2, 4, 6, and 8 can never be functional.
• Singlemode and multimode devices are not interchangeable. Ensure that you connect transmitting and
receiving devices that are compatible with the FOX DA8 Plus.
• Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your system. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket
and multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
Step 4 — Optical Outputs
Connect up to eight fiber cables between the FOX DA Output LC connectors (the left-hand connector on each
transceiver block) and compatible receivers.
