The Camera Fiber-Link System uses a Camera Side Unit 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 a threaded screw-lock input power connectors, and our compact, light-weight
design, the Camera Fiber-Link System is ideal for any application.
STEP 3: If using external sensors, lighting, etc., two CAT5 cables
and RJ45 to DB9M and DB9F adapters (KIT-000013-R) are
included to connect your serial device(s) to the Camera Side and
Frame Grabber Side units.
