    1.3. Functional Description A block diagram of the CLR-102 is provided in Figure 1-1. The CLR-102 regenerates the “base” configuration signal set defined in the Camera Link Specification for Power over Camera Link (PoCL) applications. The regenerated signals may then be transmitted an additional distance up-to 10 meters over Camera Link cables.

    Camera and frame grabber cable “outer” shields are connected to the CLR-102 aluminum case. Case and endplate contacting surfaces are unpainted, providing a Faraday cage to shield internal circuitry. The case is isolated from the CLR-102 circuitry and the cable “inner” shields, avoiding possible safety concerns.
