Digital: CameraLink™ Cabling
The
CameraLink™ interface standard was created by a consortium
of leading manufacturers of cameras and framegrabbers. The CameraLink™ standard allows very high
speed data transfer, and simplifies interconnect cabling
by providing a defined set of standards and products.
Firstsight Vision supply a complete range of CameraLink™
cables and connection accessories.
The
Digipeater CLB26 is a tool to relay signals over cables
longer than 10m between camera and framegrabber. The Digipeater
regenerates all signals including the control signals
and communication signals of the CameraLink™ base
signal. With standard cables of 10m you will be able to
bridge distances up to 20m.
Cable lengths up to 15m per side.
The industrial housing
allows easy integreation in a cable duct.
Dalsa
NetLink GigaBit Ethernet
Converter
The
Dalsa NetLink allows CamerLink™ cameras to communicate
up to 100M using standard network cabling. Ther are two
models available, the Base version allows one or more
cameas to communicate with a single PC, and the Pro version
which allows for multi-casting, or transmission of data
from one or more cameras to multiple PCs for parallel
processing applicatios. Compatible with a range of Dalsa
linescan and area scan cameras.
Cable lengths up to 100M.
Removes the need
for a Camera Link™ interface card in the host PC.
JAI Cam2Net
GigaBit Ethernet
Converter
The
Cam2Net interfaces with cameras that are compatible with
the Camera Link™ base configuration. The Cam2Net
CL Adapter streams up to 100 Mpixels/s of video data to
PCs over either point-to-point GigE links or industry-standard,
packet-switched GigE LANs. At the PC, the Cam2Net Software
Development Kit (SDK) provides a communications interface
that maps the Camera Link™ RS-232 command channel
through the IP link. All
Cable lengths up to 100M.
Removes the need
for a Camera Link™ interface card in the host PC.
The development
of Camera Link
The
CameraLink interface standard was created by the worlds
leading manufacturers of cameras and framegrabbers and
is based on the channel link interface by National Semiconductor.3M were invited to define the
cable specification by the Camera link standards committee.
Unified cable specification for easy
connection and configuration.
Signal Speed up
to 1.5GBits second over 10 meters

Firstsight
Vision is the U.K Master Distributor for 3M and stocks
3m, 5m and 10 meter camera link cables, however we can
have any length made to order fitted with optional 90
degree connectors of ultra high flex cable on a 4 week
lead time. Please call sales for more details. Robotic
grade cabling optional: call for details.
