Lightware OPTJ Power Tray SC Rack-mountable Power Tray for 16x HDMI...
Product Overview
The Lightware OPTJ Power Tray SC is a 1RU rack-mountable power and housing chassis that accommodates up to 16 Lightware HDMI20-OPTJ-TX90 or HDMI20-OPTJ-RX90 optical extender units in a single rack slot. It provides centralized power distribution to all installed extenders and presents their fiber connections via 8 SC Duplex front-panel connectors, enabling organized rack-based deployment of large-scale HDMI 2.0 optical extension systems. TX and RX units can be mixed freely in any combination within the tray.
Product Description
In a large AV matrix or signal distribution system, managing power and cabling for 16 individual optical extender units becomes a rack space and cable management challenge. The OPTJ Power Tray SC addresses this by consolidating all extender units into a 1RU chassis with integrated power supply, front-panel fiber access via SC Duplex connectors, and HDMI tail cable access at the rear.
When the OPTJ Power Tray is fully populated with 16 extenders, combining it with a Lightware MX2-8x8-HDMI20-Audio matrix creates a complete HDMI 2.0 optical matrix system capable of full 4K UHD at 60Hz 4:4:4 on all ports. The tray's passive cooling design ensures silent operation, which is important in acoustically sensitive environments. Status LEDs on each extender unit are mirrored on the tray's front panel for at-a-glance system monitoring. Optical cables within the tray are numbered for straightforward identification and installation.
Key Features
- 16-unit capacity — houses up to 16 HDMI20-OPTJ-TX/RX90 extenders; TX and RX mix freely
- 1RU rack footprint — efficient rack density for large-scale optical matrix systems
- Centralized power distribution — single AC input powers all 16 installed extender units (5V DC, 500 mA per port)
- 8x SC Duplex connectors — front-panel fiber access, each connector carries two signal fibers
- Front-panel status LEDs — extender status mirrored for monitoring without accessing rear cabling
- Passive cooling — noiseless operation, suitable for acoustically sensitive spaces
- Numbered internal optical cables — simplified identification and installation
- PoE port protection — individual USB port fault isolation keeps remaining units operational
Typical Applications
- Broadcast facilities with high-density optical extender requirements in standard racks
- Large AV matrix systems using Lightware MX2-8x8-HDMI20-Audio as the switching core
- Higher education AV distribution racks with multiple display extension endpoints
- Corporate AV infrastructure with centralized rack rooms and distributed fiber endpoints
- Rental and staging companies standardizing on Lightware OPTJ optical extension

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which extender units are compatible with the OPTJ Power Tray SC?
- The tray is designed for the Lightware HDMI20-OPTJ-TX90 and HDMI20-OPTJ-RX90 optical extenders. TX and RX units can be mixed in any combination within the 16 slots.
- How is fiber connected to the installed extenders?
- Each of the 8 SC Duplex front-panel connectors carries two signal fibers, serving two extender slots. Internal numbered optical cables route from the SC Duplex connectors to the installed extender units.
- Does the tray require separate power supplies for each extender?
- No. The tray's integrated power supply delivers 5V DC at up to 500 mA to each of the 16 extender slots via a single AC mains connection. No individual PSUs are required.
- How are HDMI cables connected to the extenders?
- The HDMI tail cables of each installed extender are accessible directly at the rear of the Power Tray.
- Can the tray be used with Lightware matrix switchers?
- Yes. When fully populated and combined with a Lightware MX2-8x8-HDMI20-Audio matrix, the result is a complete HDMI 2.0 optical matrix system supporting 4K UHD at 60Hz 4:4:4.
- What happens if one USB power port fails?
- The tray includes per-port USB power protection. A fault on one port does not affect the remaining 15 units, which continue operating normally.
