About the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV
The FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV are a high performance,
low resolution video, audio, and data (RS-232) transmitter (Tx)
and receiver (Rx) pairs. Signals are transmitted over ber optic
cable at rates up to 2 Gbps.
There are four different units:
FOX 2G Tx AV MM•
FOX 2G Tx AV SM•
FOX 2G Rx AV MM•
FOX 2G Rx AV SM•
The MM models have 850 nm multimode small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) modules and carry signals up to 500 m (1640').
The SM models have 1310 nm single mode SFP modules
and carry signals up to 30 km (18 miles). The transmitter is
connected to the receiver using the appropriate ber optic cable
(SM or MM).

The transmitter and receiver must be compatible. Both
must be MM or both must be SM. It is not possible to
mix types.

transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
These low resolution FOX 2G video units are not compatible
