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.

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.

NOTE: With appropriate DVI-D to HDMI cables or adapters, the unit will accept
DVI-D input.

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.
