A fiber optic extension cable for Camera Link cameras is made up of two RCX C-Link modules, fiber optic cable, and power supplies. The modules' compact design and robust thumbscrew attachments allow you plug the modules directly into the camera and framegrabber[1], providing a direct replacement for a standard Camera Link cable. Camera Link signalling is encoded/decoded in the module hardware, so there is no need for a separate device driver. Base mode module pairs will work with virtually any Camera Link Base mode camera and EDT or third-party frame grabber.
A base mode extension cord configuration for camera link cameras typically consists of the following components (refer to the block diagrams [pdf] for specific part numbers).
• Two RCX C-Link camera link to fiber modules
• LC-LC fiber optic cable, 6' or 200' or custom length [2][3]
• Power supplies (included -- specify domestic [110v] or int'l [220v])
