CopperHead System Configurations
The CopperHead system is available in a variety of configurations that maximize the
advantages of either "dry" fiber cable, "hybrid" fiber cable, or a combination of the two.
Powered Systems using the PowerWafer
CopperHead Base Stations can be equipped with an internal power supply that, when used
with SMPTE hybrid fiber cable and a PowerWafer at the Camera Unit, will deliver
approximately 95 Watts of power to the camera and related accessories.
Fig. 2-1: Powered System Overview
The maximum range of the system is nominally 240 meters (787 feet)* when drawing 95
watts at the camera, but distances will vary depending on total power draw at the
PowerWafer, as shown in
Figure 2-2 .

* The maximum operational cable length varies due to optical loss that can depend on
cable quality, dirt/dust/contamination on connectors, and the number of cable connectors.
When using hybrid cables for camera power, the size of the hybrid cable, as well as the
power draw of the camera, lens, viewfinder, and other accessories are also factors.
