The Camera Fiber-Link System from Thinklogical

allows the placement of a digital camera up to
350 meters (1150 feet) from the controlling computer without loss of resolution. Traditional copper
cables are typically limited to 10 meters (32.81 feet) or less in such applications.
Each Base or Medium/Full Camera Fiber-Link System includes a transmitter and receiver chassis
connected by multi-mode fiber optic cables at ports L1 and L2.* The Medium/Full System requires
a third, multi-mode fiber optic cable at port L3. The Frame Grabber unit connects directly to the
computer and the Camera unit connects directly to the digital camera, each with a 2 meter
Camera Link MDR-26 male-to-male cable (both included).
Note: 350 meters (1150 feet) is the standard maximum distance for a continuous
50/125, 1000 MHz-km fiber. See Appendix D (pg. 34) for the maximum allowable distances
of other fiber types.
*The multi-mode fibers used with the CFL-4000 must be of equal length .
