Lightware HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-FOX HDMI 2.0 Full 4K Fiber Optical Exte...
Product Overview
The Lightware HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-FOX is the receiver unit of the HDMI20-OPTC-TX/RX220-FOX extender pair, delivering uncompressed HDMI 2.0 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 reception over a single multimode optical fiber with a Fiberfox optical connector. It is specified for installations where Fiberfox fiber connectors are the infrastructure standard — common in certain European broadcast, government, and enterprise AV environments. The unit provides the same 700-meter extension distance, zero frame latency, and full HDMI 2.0 signal fidelity as other OPTC-220 series variants.
Product Description
The HDMI20-OPTC-RX220-FOX receives 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 video over a single optical fiber using Single Fiber Technology, carrying video, two Gigabit Ethernet paths, and bi-directional RS-232 without requiring a second fiber or copper connections. The Fiberfox optical connector provides a secure, industry-recognized termination for facilities that have standardized on Fiberfox fiber patch systems. Galvanic isolation inherent to the fiber medium eliminates ground loops between source racks and display locations in multi-room or multi-building AV distributions. Zero frame video latency is maintained through optical conversion, ensuring audio-video synchronization in systems with separate audio processing. Pixel Accurate Reclocking removes signal jitter before display output. HDR10, HDR12, and Dolby Vision are supported within the HDMI 2.0 signal envelope, and HDCP 2.2 compliance handles protected 4K content. Advanced EDID Management enforces the display's native EDID at the transmitter source.
Key Features
- Fiberfox optical connector — Industry-standard Fiberfox fiber termination for facilities with Fiberfox patch panel infrastructure.
- Single Fiber Technology — Video, two Gigabit Ethernet, and RS-232 over a single multimode fiber.
- 700-meter extension distance — Receives 4K UHD@60Hz 4:4:4 from up to 700m over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the FOX, PCN, and NTQ variants?
- All three have identical signal performance. The difference is the optical connector: FOX uses a Fiberfox connector; PCN uses Neutrik OpticalCON DUO with PowerCON True1 power; NTQ uses Neutrik OpticalCON Quad. Select based on your existing fiber patch infrastructure.
- Does the RX220-FOX include the transmitter?
- No. This is the receiver unit only. The companion transmitter is the HDMI20-OPTC-TX220-FOX, sold separately.
- What fiber cable type is needed for maximum distance?
- OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber provides 700m at 4K60 4:4:4. OM2 provides 300m. OM1 is not supported at full 4K60 4:4:4.
- Is there any video latency through the extender?
- No. The HDMI20-OPTC series maintains zero frame latency. No frame buffering occurs in the optical conversion process.
- Can this unit be integrated with video wall controllers?
- Yes. Lightware documents compatibility with Corvette, Megapixel HELIOS, and Brompton video wall solutions.
- Is the unit controllable via Ethernet?
- Yes. The unit is controllable via Ethernet (TCP/IP), RS-232, and USB for device configuration and monitoring.
