standard Ethernet switches. However, switches offer a range of functions and
performance grades, so care must be taken to choose the right switch for a particular
application. The following switches are expected to work with the camera:

Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements

In cases where no intervening switch is desired and camera-to-PC separations of more
than 100 meters are required, a fiber-optic media converter can be used with the Spyder 3
GigE camera.
The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems (
to fiber and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m
(720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector
types.
Note:
inclusion in this manual does not guarantee they will meet specific application
requirements.
Shielded Ethernet Cable Requirements
In order to achieve EMC compliance, the Spyder 3 camera requires the use of shielded
CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables.

2.3 Drivers: Overview

High Performance Driver Mode

In high-performance mode, the Spyder 3 GigE works with the High-Performance IP
Device Driver to transfer data between cameras and PCs with very low, predictable
latency at rates of up to 1 Gb/s (100 MB/s). The video data is streamed directly into PC
