Installation Guide
PDXL-2 Dual Power over DXLink Controller
Overview
The PDXL-2 (FG1090-170) is a Power over DXLink injector which allows for remote
powering of any two DXLink devices. The device simplifies installation by allowing the
DXLink Transmitters and Receivers to be placed anywhere even where there are no AC
power outlets—simply install a PDXL-2 in any convenient place within the 100 meter path to
provide power. The PDXL-2 provides power for DXLink devices by “injecting” power through
the twisted pair cable. The PDXL-2 also accepts I/O control from a NetLinx controller
allowing power down capabilities to either (or both) of the connected DXLink devices to
achieve power savings when the devices are not in use.

Specifications
The following table lists the specifications for the PDXL-2:
* Cable runs with a minimum specification of ANSI/TIE/EIA 568A-5 and ratings of 250 MHz
or better may be used with DXLink equipment. However, cable run topology and
environmental influences can affect the overall successful distance capabilities of these runs.
For successful deployments up to 100 meters without consideration to outside variables,
AMX recommends the use of shielded category cable (STP) or Cat6A (or better) versions of
unshielded or shielded twisted pair (UTP/STP) for DXLink runs. For more details and helpful
cabling information, please contact your AMX representative for a copy of the white paper
titled “Cabling for Success with DXLink”.
Important Safety Information
The PDXL-2 should be connected to DXLink devices only. Outside network
connections are not supported.
Only qualified personnel can install or remove the PDXL-2.
AC Power Cord Set:
* The power cord must have regulatory agency approval for the specific country in
which it is used (for example, UL, CSA, VDE, etc.)
* The power cord must be a three-conductor type (two current-carrying conductors and
one ground conductor) terminated on one end by an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for
connection to the PDXL-2), and on the other end by a plug containing a ground
(earthing) contact.
* The power cord must be rated for a minimum of 250 VAC RMS operation, with a
minimum rated current capacity of 5 amps or a minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG
(0.75 mm
2
).
A PDXL-2 installed in Australia requires power cords with a minimum wire gauge of 16
AWG (1.0 mm
2
).
The PDXL-2 DATA and DATA & POWER ports are shielded RJ45 data sockets. They
CANNOT be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone sockets. Only
RJ45 data connectors may be connected to these sockets.
The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PDXL-2 and easily accessible. You can
remove AC power from the PDXL-2 by disconnecting the AC power cord from either
the wall socket-outlet or the PDXL-2 appliance coupler.
The PDXL-2 “DATA” and “DATA & POWER” interfaces are qualified as Safety
Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits according to IEC 60950-1. These interfaces may
only be connected to SELV interfaces on other equipment.
AMX only supports the use of our Enova DGX, Enova DVX, DXLink or Power over
DXLink solutions as the use of any other power supplies or non-compatible standard
PoE solutions may potentially damage the DXLink equipment.
WARNINGS!
The PDXL-2 should only be connected to devices compatible with this product. Using
the PDXL-2 with incompatible devices may cause damage to the device.
Read the installation instructions before connecting the PDXL-2 to its power source.
Follow basic electricity safety measures before connecting the PDXL-2 to its power
source.
A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the
voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect
the PDXL-2 to this power outlet.
Mounting the Device
The PDXL-2 may be mounted on a flat surface using AVB-VSTYLE-SURFACE-MNT Surface
Mount Brackets (FG1010-722) to mount the device. See the Module Options for V Styles
Modules Quick Start Guide for mounting instructions.
Use MPA-VRK Rack Mount Brackets (FG5968-30) for a rack mount installation.
Use the AVB-VSTYLE-POLE-MNT Single Module Pole Mounting Kit (FG1010-723) for a pole
mount installation.
