  • Page 5: Introduction

    Process and machine monitoring, safety, security and surveillance applications often require that remote cameras be positioned far from their controlling computers. Long distance image transmission, security and resolution are top priorities in these and many other environments. That’s why we’ve developed the Thinklogical Camera Fiber-Link Extension System with the ® Camera-Link standard for high performance digital cameras and frame grabbers.
  • Page 6 PWR-000022-R (AC to DC Converter-Standard +5VDC) Figure 1: Thinklogical Camera Fiber-Link-4000 Cabling Application Drawing ® 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.

    ® Extend Distribute Innovate Connecting the Camera Fiber-Link 3.1 Types of Connections 3.1.1. Fiber Cable Either two (Base version) or three (Medium/Full version) fiber optic cables will connect the Frame Grabber Unit (near the CPU) and the Camera Side Unit (near the camera). The standard simplex and/or duplex, multi-mode fiber cables must be 50 or 62.5 micron, term- inated with an SC-, ST- or LC-type connector and no longer than 1150 running feet (350 meters).

The serial port on the CFL-6000 varies from the CFL-3000, CFL-4000, and CFL-5000 systems in that serial data from the PC is broadcast to both Camera Side units (transmitters). However, serial data to the PC only comes from Camera 1 on the Camera Side (transmitter 1).
