Extron FOX3 SR 301 PC SM (part number 70-1190-22) is a lossless fiber optic scaling receiver built as a slot-in module for the Extron PowerCage 411 enclosure, rather than a standalone chassis. It shares its scaling, video, and audio behavior with the standalone FOX3 SR 301, using a full USB 2.0 host plus 2-port USB HID hub for peripheral extension.

Installed in one of the four module slots of a PowerCage 411, the SR 301 PC receives power, cooling, and rack space from the shared enclosure rather than an individual supply or fan -- power draw is 24.9 watts per module. Its built-in scaler outputs fixed resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling over a single HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.3-compliant output, or runs in bypass mode to pass the source resolution unchanged. Audio de-embeds from HDMI to a 2-channel PCM digital output, and a bidirectional RS-232 pass-through port extends serial control to the display or other AV device at the far end. This lossless variant uses 1 SFP (mathematically lossless 4K/60 over one fiber), giving a maximum channel data rate of 10.0 Gbps (1 fiber), over singlemode fiber.

Key Capabilities

• Full USB 2.0 host plus 2-port USB HID hub for KVM extension
• 20 km (12.4 miles) on singlemode fiber
• Slots directly into a PowerCage 411 enclosure, sharing its power and cooling
• Bidirectional RS-232 pass-through control
• Only 24.9 watts draw per module reduces PowerCage 411 total load

Where It Is Used

Multi-room AV racks that consolidate several FOX3 scaling receivers into a single PowerCage 411 chassis, instead of racking individual standalone receivers, specify the PC module version to save rack space and simplify shared power and cooling.
