Anaheim, California (September 9, 2024) - Extron has expanded the powerful, space-saving FOX3 PowerCage platform with three new single-slot fiber optic scaling receiver modules. Designed specifically for the PowerCage 411 enclosure, the FOX3 SR 311 PC, FOX3 SR 301 PC, and FOX3 SR 201 PC are compact new modules that provide long-haul extension of HDCP-compliant HDMI video with embedded audio and RS-232 control as well as optional USB or USB HID signals. Engineered for exceptional high resolution image performance, they use Extron all-digital technology to deliver perfect pixel-for-pixel, uncompressed transmission of images up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 over two fibers or mathematically lossless 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 over one fiber. Designed specifically for AV and KVM systems, these new fiber optic scaling receivers also include many integrator-friendly features such as Key Minder and real-time system monitoring.

"We're pleased to introduce our latest scaling receiver modules for the space-saving and powerful PowerCage 411," says Casey Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Extron. "The addition of these three compact fiber optic scaling receiver modules provides a thorough solution for multi-display workstations as well as any enterprise-wide fiber optic AV and KVM signal distribution system."

The Extron PowerCage 411 is a compact 1U rack-mountable, 4-slot enclosure that supports Extron FOX3 series fiber optic extenders. Engineered with uncompromising quality and proven performance to provide an efficient way to power, manage, and mount multiple extenders, the PowerCage 411 simplifies integration for large, rack-mounted systems as well as user workstations with multiple computers. The PowerCage 411 features a redundant, hot-swappable power supply plus active thermal management to optimize reliability in mission-critical environments where continuous, 24/7 operation is essential. The hot-swappable, modular design allows for replacing or upgrading boards in the field at any time, without having to power down the system. The compact 1U enclosure includes front panel controls for set-up and configuration without a computer.
