KY-EXT-CL

KAYA Instruments’ Camera Link Range Extender over Fiber resolves the distance limitation of the Camera Link interface by connecting the camera to the frame grabber over a single fiber cable. This solution provides a high-resolution stream interface for distances up to 80km in single-mode and up to 300m in multi mode. The adapter is capable of supplying power to the camera over PoCL. The system is constructed of two converters, one on the camera side and one on the Camera Link frame grabber side. The system uses flexible SFP+ modules for optical connection that can be easily changed. The range extender can provide bidirectional communication at up to 10.3125Gbps equal to Camera Link Full/80 bit (Deca) over a single fiber cable.
