Extron 60-1600-21 FOX3 SR 201 MM Fiber Optic Scaling Receiver for HDMI, Audio, and Control

Product Description

The Extron FOX3 SR 201 MM (P/N 60-1600-21) is a multimode fiber optic scaling receiver that provides long-haul transmission of HDCP-compliant HDMI video, stereo audio, RS-232 control, and IR control over fiber optic cabling. Using Extron all-digital technology, this FOX3 SR 201 fiber optic scaling receiver delivers pixel-for-pixel uncompressed video up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4 chroma sampling over two fibers, or mathematically lossless 4K/60 over a single fiber. It is engineered for AV systems that require exceptional high-resolution image performance over fiber.

This multimode HDMI fiber optic extender receiver supports data rates up to 18 Gbps and provides selectable output resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling. Integrator-friendly features include Key Minder, HDMI audio de-embedding, Ethernet monitoring and control, and real-time system monitoring. Unlike the USB-equipped SR 301, the SR 201 is focused on HDMI video, audio, and control extension. For point-to-point links, pair this receiver with a compatible FOX3 Series transmitter such as the Extron FOX3 T 301 MM transmitter, or combine it with a FOX3 Series matrix switcher for enterprise-wide distribution.

The 850 nm multimode model supports moderate-range runs within buildings and campuses up to 500 m (1640 feet), using industry-standard LC connectors in a compact, low-profile enclosure for discreet installation. Browse compatible fiber extension hardware in our Extron collection.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the FOX3 SR 201 differ from the FOX3 SR 301?
The FOX3 SR 201 extends HDMI video, stereo audio, and RS-232/IR control. The FOX3 SR 301 MM adds integrated USB signal extension and 3D sync support for KVM applications.

Which transmitter pairs with this receiver?
The FOX3 SR 201 MM works with compatible FOX3 Series transmitters such as the Extron FOX3 T 301 MM in point-to-point links, or with a FOX3 Series matrix switcher for enterprise-wide distribution.

What is the difference between one-fiber and two-fiber operation?
Over two fibers the receiver delivers fully uncompressed 4K/60 at 4:4:4; over a single fiber it delivers mathematically lossless 4K/60, useful where fiber count is limited.

How far can this multimode model transmit?
The 850 nm multimode model supports moderate-range transmission up to 500 m (1640 feet), suitable for runs within buildings and facilities. Singlemode models are available for extreme distances.

Is a TAA compliant version available?
Yes. A TAA compliant version is available on request. Contact Creation Networks for warranty, lead time, and support details.
