PHOX  Fiber Extender for Camera Link Base, Medium, and Full

With zero data loss and transparent transport via 2 multimode or single mode optical fibers, PHOX Camera Link extenders transmit camera signals as far as 80km. Additional 4 opto-isolated GPIO and RS232 channels can be optimized for external trigger and control.

PHOX Camera Link fiber extender has a model for every Camera Link configuration. Our PHOX for Base and Medium configurations transmits 2 Gb/s transport bandwidth at 66 MHz pixel clock. One of our most powerful products, the PHOX for Full configurations can reach transport speeds of 100 MHz (85 MHz standard), the fastest in the industry. With zero data loss and transparent transport, PHOX overcomes the 10 meter limit of copper Camera Link cables, and instead extends camera signals as far as 50 km. PHOX is one of our most versatile Camera Link fiber optic solutions, with superior bandwidth flexibility and optional GPIO and RS232 ports.

Key Features

• The robust PHOX series comes in a rack-mountable cage for harsh environments.
•  Supports all Camera Link Base, Dual Base, Medium and Full cameras/frame grabbers
• Zero data loss and transparent transport, no programming needed
• Sends high-speed, real-time image data over LC duplex fiber cables
• Single 5~24VDC power supply with locking AC/DC power adapters
• 250m transmission distance via multimode fiber or up to 50km via single mode fiber
• CWDM specific and single fiber options available upon request

PHIRE  Fiber Adapters For Camera Link Base, PoCL

Our compact fiber optic adapter plugs directly into any base configuration Camera Link camera or frame grabber, and transmits data as far as 80 km with true, transparent communication up to 85 MHz pixel clock. PHIRE is also compatible with Power Over Camera Link (PoCL). Our adapters are available in LC or SC, 1-fiber or 2-fiber versions, as well as in CWDM wavelengths.

Key Features

• Supports all Camera Link Base cameras/frame grabbers up to 85MHz
• PoCL compatible
• Direct plug – no electrical cable needed
• Zero loss and transparent transport – no programming needed
• Sends high-speed, real-time image data over single mode or multimode fiber
• Single 5~24VDC power supply with locking AC/DC power adapters
• Transmission distance can be either 250m via multimode fiber, or up to 80km via single mode fiber
• Exchangeable optical module is easy to upgrade
• Available in CWDM-specific versions
• Compact size – 59L x 39.4W x 17H mm (2.326Lx1.55Wx0.669H inch)

PHAST Camera Link Fiber Adapter

Our popular PHAST series supports the most demanding 8×8 bit and 10×8 bit Camera Link Full or Deca configuration and extends transmission distance up to 250 meters at 85MHz. PHAST plugs directly into a Camera Link camera or frame grabber without any camera link cable.

This compact set of Camera Link fiber adapters differs from our PHIRE series in that PHAST supports Camera Link Full (8×8-bit) and Extended Full (10×8-bit) configurations, and thus are the only choice for Full and Extended Full applications that are space-conscious. They plug directly into any Camera Link camera and framegrabber, extending image transmission distance up to 250 meters via LC duplex fiber cables. Our PHAST fiber adapters boast a pixel clock range up to 85MHz, and PoCL capability for Base configuration. When paired with “ruggedized” cables, this series is ideal for challenging applications, tight spaces, and harsh environments.

Key Features

• Offers 670 MB/s bandwidth
• Plugs directly into cameras and framegrabbers without any Camera Link cables, saving both space and cost
• Supports Camera Link Base, Medium, and Full configurations
• Supports PoCL for Base configuration
• Sends high-speed, real-time image data up to 250 meters over LC duplex fiber cables
• Single 5~24 VDC power supply
• OEM solutions available
