Fiber Basics: Fiber Cable Types
- Single-mode - Typically used for "long hauls" - Typically used for long distance buried cable (ie. used by telecommunication companies for country-wide distribution) -Single-mode should be used in applications over 1000FT (300M).
- Multi-mode - Most common in pro/custom electronics. For shorter runs, up to 1000FT (300M). Multi-mode is used in residential/commercial applications for on premise infrastructure.
Ways to purchase fiber cable:
- Simplex - Means a single strain of fiber optic cable. Comes in a single jacket. Any grade/type can be simplex.
- Duplex - Means two strains of fiber optic cable. Comes in a dual, fused, jacket.
- 6-Strain - Six strains of fiber, comes in a single jacket, each individual fiber will be color coded.
• 12-Strain - Twelve strains of fiber, comes in a single jacket, each individual fiber will be color coded.
OM Grades
OM grades are for multi-mode fiber (OM translates to Optical Multi-mode) only. The grade is determined by the clarity of the glass. The differences are:
- OM1 - (Legacy Fiber) - 200MHz - Typically ORANGE jacket - is compatible with AC-EXO-444 up to 100M.
- OM2 - 500MHz - Typically ORANGE jacket - is compatible with AC-EXO-444 up to 150M.
- OM3 - (Most Common, Recommended) 2000MHz - Typically AQUA jacket - is compatible with AC-EXO-444 up to 300M.
- OM4 - 4700MHz - Typically VIOLET, but can be AQUA jacket - Is compatible with AC-EXO-444 up to ?????
OS Grades
OS grades are for single-mode fiber (OS translates to Optical Single-mode) only. The grade is determined by the clarity of the glass. For Pro AV applications the grade is of little meaning - there are two grades (OS1, OS2) OS1 is considered "legacy". If you buy Single-mode today it will be OS2. The jacket color of single-mode fiber is YELLOW. The AC-EXO-444.
- LC (Lucent Connector) - Universal style, most common (used in networking). Can be terminated in the field, some connectors support more than one strain. AC-EXO-444 uses this connector type.
• SC (Square Connector) - Universal, can be terminated in the field. Single strain of fiber only. - MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) - Mechanically terminated, for large fiber clusters. Not field friendly.
- Other Types- many other "custom" styles exist, however since there is no consistency, it is not effective in the field and becomes a single use cable.
What is a SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceiver)?
An SFP is a great benefit of using fiber. It is a module that allows the user to modify the connector type or quantity, maximum distance, and even the type of fiber used. by using devices with SFP's, you are increasing the life because you can modify the capabilities as needed in the field. SFP Modules are easily and inexpensively attainable.
AVProEdge STRONGLY recommends Cleerline SSF. It has proven to be the strongest, safest, and easiest to terminate in the field.

POWER - On the front (Setting Light): (Red) the setting light doubles as the POWER indicator. This is an indicator that the power is connected. There are only two states for light:
• Light Is On = Power supply is connected and functioning.
- Light Is Off = Power supply is not connected or there is no power present. (In order to have power: check the power supply, USP, Outlet, etc...)
HDMI STATUS - On the back (By HDMI Port): (Red) This indicator shows that the HDMI Source is connected. The states are:
• Light Is On (Solid) = Sync w/ HDMI source is correct and solid
• Light Is Flashing = The light flashes during the sync process. If it is flashing continuously, a picture may not be present
• Light Is Off = Sync w/ HDMI source is not detected
If the RED HDMI SIGNAL STATUS LIGHT is flashing or off, check the following:
- The source. Plug it directly into the display to be sure it's functioning properly.
- Try a longer HDMI cable. Some HDMI cables do not sync well at shorter lengths.
- Set the EDID to state #1 (See below).
- If these suggestions do not work, enable the "Test Pattern" (See Below). If you see the pattern, the problem is between the source and the transmitter, please try a different source.
- Contact AVProEdge if these suggestions do not work.
Functions & Setup of the Transmitter:
IR Mode Slide Switch: (On Front) This is used to select a preferred IR Mode
There are two modes:
- IR-EYE - The IR Input will be configured to operate with an IR Receiver Eye.
- I-PASS - The IR Input will be configured to safely operate with a direct connection from a control system using a mono or stereo 3.5mm cable. It's protected @ 3v-20v. Default mode is IR-EYE.

While in the USER EDID state (8), press and hold the setting button (for 4 seconds) in order to copy the EDID from the connected display or downstream device to the user EDID and it will apply automatically.
Why do this?
This is commonly used when there is a need for a specific, known EDID that the installer may prefer. It can also be used if you want to bypass an EDID of an AVR or another connected device. (IE, plug the extender kit directly into a display and COPY the EDID. Plug it back into an AVR that may not have a current/good EDID).
Scaler Setting:
While in ANY state besides the USER EDID state, press and hold the setting button (for 4 seconds) to toggle the scaler mode.
The options are:
- Normal Mode(ICT Mode) --- LED Flashes 1 Time

■ RS-232 Configuration
RS-232 can be used to pass control signals bi-directionally to & from any RS-232 compatible device. This is commonly used to route control signals in the following way:
- Control System --> Display/Projector (ie, Power On/Off)
- Display/Projector --> Control System (ie, Display Status, Volume Status etc...)
- When ultra long-range serial communication is needed (think concerts, live events). Use the extender.
The unit comes with 3 pin connectors to allow for any wire an integrator would like.
The pin out configuration Left=TX, Center=Ground, Right=RX and looks like this:

■ IR Configuration
IR can be used in three ways:
- From Rack (Control System Direct): Plug a MONO 3.5mm cable into an emitter port of any control system directly into the "IR IN" port on the AC-EXO-444 Transmitter to pass IR signals directly to the remote end. NOTE - Be sure the IR MODE Slide Switch is set to "I-PASS" on the Transmitter
- From Rack (Using IR-EYE): Plug an IR-Receiver Eye into the "IR IN" of the AC-EXO-444 Transmitter in order to pass infrared signals generated from a device or IR Remote. NOTE - Be sure the IR MODE Slide Switch is set to "IR-EYE" on the Transmitter.
- From Remote End: Use an IR-Receiver Eye on the AC-EXO-444 Receiver (IR In Port) in order to send IR signals BACK to the rack and out of the TRANSMITTER IR Out Port with an emitter.
