Extron FOX3 R 111 MM – Fiber Optic Receiver for HDMI, Multimode

Product Overview

FOX3 R 111 MM (Multimode), part number 60-1957-41. The Extron FOX3 R 111 is a compact fiber optic HDMI receiver that terminates a long haul fiber link and outputs HDCP-compliant HDMI video with embedded audio. It reconstructs mathematically lossless 4K video up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling from a single fiber, using Extron all-digital technology rather than compression. Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance so switching and source changes stay quick and reliable. Multimode and singlemode versions match the installed fiber plant.

Product Description

The receiver end of a fiber link is where reliability problems usually show up. HDCP re-authentication on every source change produces the multi-second black screen that users interpret as a broken system, and it becomes worse the longer the link and the more devices in the chain.

The FOX3 R 111 uses Extron Key Minder to continuously verify HDCP compliance rather than re-authenticating from scratch each time. The result is fast, predictable switching at the display end of a long fiber run. HDCP 2.3 is supported, covering current protected content requirements from corporate laptops and media sources.

Image transport matches the transmitter side. Extron all-digital technology delivers mathematically lossless video, with support for 4096x2160 at 60 Hz at 4:4:4 chroma and 8-bit color, or 10-bit at 30 Hz. Signal type is HDMI 2.0 at data rates up to 18.0 Gbps, with 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 chroma sampling and two-channel LPCM embedded audio.

Fiber connection is a single SFP interface using one strand per link. Two versions are available: multimode (60-1957-41) for in-building and campus runs on OM3 or OM4, and singlemode (60-1957-42) for the longer distances of multi-building campus and metro deployments. The receiver must match the transmitter's fiber mode. Pair with the Extron FOX3 T 111 transmitter at the source end.

Key Features

• Mathematically lossless reconstruction — Extron all-digital technology reconstructs the source image with no visually lossy compression in the path.
• 4K/60 at 4:4:4 — Outputs up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma sampling.
• Key Minder HDCP verification — Continuously verifies HDCP compliance for fast, reliable switching without full re-authentication delays.
• Single fiber operation — Uses one fiber strand per link, conserving strand count in the installed plant.
• HDCP 2.3 compliant — Supports current protected content requirements from corporate laptops and media sources.
• Embedded audio output — Delivers two-channel LPCM audio embedded in the HDMI output.
• Multimode and singlemode versions — Two part numbers match the installed fiber plant for in-building, campus, or metro distances.
• Compact form factor — Fits behind a display, in a lectern, or in a rack without consuming meaningful space.
• SFP fiber connection — A single SFP interface simplifies fiber termination and future optic changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Key Minder do?

It continuously verifies HDCP compliance rather than performing a full re-authentication on every source change. That is what keeps switching fast at the display end of a long link instead of producing a multi-second black screen each time.

Which fiber mode should I order?

Match the transmitter and the installed plant. Multimode (60-1957-41) suits in-building and shorter campus runs on OM3 or OM4. Singlemode (60-1957-42) supports the longer distances of multi-building and metro deployments. Transmitter and receiver must be the same mode.

How many strands per link?

One fiber per link, which conserves strand count in an existing plant where available strands are often the real constraint rather than distance.

What transmitter pairs with this receiver?

The Extron FOX3 T 111, in the matching fiber mode. The transmitter also offers an HDMI input loop-out for a local confidence monitor at the source position.

Is the video compressed?

No visually lossy compression is applied. Extron all-digital technology delivers mathematically lossless transport, which matters for medical imaging, simulation, command and control, and detail-critical applications.

What is the availability?

Extron lists this model as shipping in December 2026. Contact Creation Networks for current lead time and to reserve project quantities.

What support is available?

We can review fiber type, distance, and optic selection before you order, coordinate Extron warranty and RMA handling, and quote at project volume.
