Extron 70-1190-11 FOX3 T 301 PC MM PowerCage Fiber Optic Transmitter for HDMI, USB, Audio, and Control

Product Description

The Extron FOX3 T 301 PC MM (P/N 70-1190-11) is a compact single-slot module designed for the PowerCage 411 enclosure that extends HDMI video, USB, stereo audio, and RS-232 control signals over multimode fiber optic cabling. Using Extron all-digital technology, this FOX3 T 301 PC PowerCage fiber optic transmitter 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 and KVM systems that require exceptional high-resolution image performance in a high-density, rack-mount format.

As a PowerCage fiber optic transmitter module, the FOX3 T 301 PC is powered directly by the PowerCage 411 enclosure, consolidating multiple fiber transmitters into a single rack space. It supports HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 18 Gbps and integrates Extron EDID Minder and Key Minder to streamline integration with sources and displays. Integrated USB signal extension carries USB 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 peripherals over the same fiber as video and audio through a one-port USB HID and one-port USB 2.0 connection, making it well suited for keyboard, video, and mouse deployments. For point-to-point links, pair this transmitter with the Extron FOX3 SR 301 MM scaling receiver, or combine it with a FOX3 Series matrix switcher.

The 850 nm multimode model supports moderate-range runs within buildings and campuses up to 500 m (1640 feet) over OM4 laser-optimized fiber. Browse compatible fiber extension hardware in our Extron collection.

Key Features

• PowerCage 411 Single-Slot Module — A compact module that fits a single slot in the PowerCage 411 enclosure and draws power from the enclosure, enabling high-density fiber transmitter deployments in a single rack space.
• Lossless and Uncompressed 4K Transmission — Supports mathematically lossless 4K/60 4:4:4 over one fiber or fully uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 over two fibers, with HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 18 Gbps (6.0 Gbps per color) and Deep Color up to 12-bit.
• EDID Minder and Key Minder — EDID Minder maintains continuous EDID communication so sources power up and output reliably, while Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP 2.3 encryption for quick, reliable switching.
• Buffered HDMI Input Loop-Through — A local HDMI loop output drives a local display for monitoring or content sharing without a separate distribution amplifier.
• Integrated USB Signal Extension — Extends USB 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 peripherals over the same fiber as video and audio through a one-port USB HID and one-port USB 2.0 connection, with device class filtering on the HID port to restrict device types to HID.
• Audio Embedding — Analog stereo audio is digitized in the transmitter, sent over fiber, and converted back to analog audio at the receiver, supporting 2-channel LPCM at 48 kHz.
• RS-232 Control Pass-Through — A 3.5 mm captive screw pass-through port carries RS-232 control from 9600 to 115,200 baud over the fiber link for remote AV device control.
• Multi-Signal Type Support — Supports HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.3, DVI 1.0, and HDCP 1.4 signal types, with DVI output requiring appropriate HDMI to DVI cables or adapters.
• Everlast Power Supply — Backed by the Extron Everlast power supply architecture with a 7-year parts and labor warranty on the power supply, plus a 3-year parts and labor product warranty.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What enclosure does the FOX3 T 301 PC require?
The FOX3 T 301 PC is a single-slot module that installs in and is powered by the Extron PowerCage 411 enclosure. It is not a standalone device and must be mounted in a PowerCage 411.

Which receiver pairs with this transmitter?
In point-to-point applications, pair the FOX3 T 301 PC MM with the Extron FOX3 SR 301 MM scaling receiver. It can also feed a FOX3 Series matrix switcher for enterprise-wide distribution.

What is the difference between one-fiber and two-fiber operation?
Over two fibers the system delivers fully uncompressed 4K/60 at 4:4:4 (including 12-bit color); over a single fiber it delivers mathematically lossless 4K/60, useful where fiber count is limited.

How far can this multimode module transmit?
The 850 nm multimode model supports up to 500 m (1640 feet) over 50 µm OM4 laser-optimized multimode cable, and works with OM1, OM2, and OM3 fiber at reduced distances. Singlemode operation supports up to 20 km.

What warranty applies?
The module carries a 3-year parts and labor warranty, and the Extron Everlast power supply is covered by a 7-year parts and labor warranty. Contact Creation Networks for full details.
