Introduction  
This guide describes the function, installation and operation of the HFX 100 Tx transmitter  
and HFX 100 Rx receiver. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “HFX 100,” “HDMI extender,”  
and “extender” refer to both units. The term “transmitter” refers to the HFX 100 Tx and the  
term “receiver” refers to the HFX 100 Rx.  
This Introduction provides the following information:  
About the HFX 100 Tx and HFX 100 Rx  
The Extron HFX 100 DVI extender comprises of a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pair,  
which use one multimode fiber optic cable to transmit a signal up to 984 feet (300 m). The  
transmitter accepts a single HDMI input and converts it to a proprietary signal that is sent  
over the fiber optic cable to the receiver. The receiver converts the signal back to a HDMI  
output.  
The extender supports DDC and HDCP pass-through.  
Features  
DVI Signal Extender — converts the HDMI signal to a proprietary format that can be  
carried up to 984 feet (300 m) without loss of signal integrity.  
Power Supply — Both the transmitter and receiver are powered by a 12 VDC power  
supply (provided).  
Compatible with other Extron fiber optic products — The HFX 100 is compatible with  
Extron fiber DMS I/O boards.  
Display Data Channel (DDC) pass-through — ensures that the resolution and refresh  
rate of the video input signal matches the capabilities of the display device.  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) pass-through — ensures that  
HDCP-compliant outputs are able to display HDCP-encrypted content.

a TMDS clock signal. The Receiver LED lights green if the unit is receiving an optical  
signal.  
NOTE: During initialization, the LED may need a few seconds to stabilize to the  
correct state.

ATTENTION:  
Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an  
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and  
may cause damage to the supply and the end product.  
Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air  
handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within  
the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary  
location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the  
dedicated closet, podium, or desk.  
The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of  
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical  
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to  
building structure or similar structure.  
NOTES:  
The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal  
length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If it is any longer, the exposed wires may touch,  
causing a short circuit between them. If it is any shorter, the wires can be  
easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.  
Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become  
loose over time.  
HDMI input connector — Connect a HDMI input to this male connector.  
b
NOTE: With appropriate DVI-D to HDMI cables or adapters, the unit will accept  
DVI-D input.  
When the transmitter is receiving HDMI input signal, the front panel LED lights green.

Optical output connector — Connect one end of one multimode fiber optic cable (not  
provided) into this LC connector. The other end connects into the LC input connector  
on the HFX 100 Rx. The cable can be up to 984 feet (300 m) in length.

CAUTION:  
Possible Damage to Eyesight. The HFX 100 Tx outputs continuous laser  
(Class 1 rated), which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with  
caution. Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connector or into the  
fiber optic cable itself. Plug the attached dust cap into the optical transceiver  
when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.  
Possible radiation exposure. Use of controls or adjustments or  
performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in  
hazardous radiation exposure.

Rack Mounting  
UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of  
these products in a rack:  
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the units are installed in a closed or multi-  
unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be  
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment  
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by  
Extron.  
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate  
air flow for safe operation.  
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical  
loading does not create a hazardous condition.  
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect  
that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider  
the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment.  
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch  
circuit (such as the use of power strips).  
Rack Mounting Procedure  
To mount the unit on a rack shelf, follow the instructions provided with the shelf accessories.
