Body: <p>We've got these rack mounted video transmission units in a server/equipment room, and they're labeled "The Fox dBm Digital Broadband Multiplexer", but I cannot find a single relevant Google result for this product.</p>
  
  <p>As far as I can tell, they convert analog video to some digital format for transmission over fiber optic lines, then back to analog at the receiving end.  They were installed c. 2001.</p>
  
  <p>Any information would be helpful, because we've got a few cameras that are having degraded quality and we need to start troubleshooting.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what they look like:
