The
Camera Fiber-Link System-6000
from Thinklogical™ uses one or more Camera Side Units and a Frame Grabber Side Unit
interconnected by duplex, multi-mode fiber optic cables to allow Camera Link video support up to 500 meters (1640 feet) from the host
computer with no loss of signal or resolution and without the use of amplifiers or repeaters of any kind.
With industrial enhancements such as threaded screw-lock input connectors for standard 5V-12V input power, or for our 12V-24V input power
designed for rugged industrial environments, and our compact, light-weight design, the Camera Fiber-Link System is ideal for any application.
Visit our website at
www.thinklogical.com
to see our complete line of Camera Fiber-Link and other fiber-optic extender products.
Multi-Mode Fiber models are available
with SC-, ST-, or LC-type connectors.
Single-Mode Fiber option models use
APC (Angled Physical Contact) SC-type
connectors.
To complement its line of Camera Fiber-
Link extenders, Thinklogical™ has also
developed high performance USB 2.0
and Firewire 800 Camera Extenders.
