Table 1 Installation and Power up Steps for the PHIRE System
5. Functionality
The PHIRE™ system consists of two adapter modules, PHIRE-CM on the camera side and
PHIRE-FG on the frame grabber (or PC) side. The block diagram of the PHIRE system is shown
in Figure 1. All electrical signals on the left-hand side of PHIRE-CM have a one-to-one
correspondence with the ones on the right-hand side of PHIRE-FG. Each adapter module
converts its input electrical signals into a single optical signal and sends it to the other adapter
module. It also receives a single optical signal from the other adapter module and converts it
back into multiple output electrical signals. With the PHIRE™ system, the signal transmission
distance between the camera and the frame grabber can be extended up to 80 kilometers
without any repeaters or amplifiers in between. Most importantly, the PHIRE™ system is totally
transparent to the camera and the frame grabber, which means seamless and easy system
integration. The functionality of the PHIRE system is described in details below.

5.1. DC Power Input Port
Each PHIRE module requires external DC power input within the range of 5V~24V. 12V is
recommended for optimum operation margin. A 5-pin micro USB type B receptacle is mounted
on the front panel of each module. Figure 2 shows the pin assignment of the power connector
on the modules.
A re-settable fuse is used for circuit protection in cases of over-voltage and over-current. The
over-voltage rating is 26.7V at 25 oC. The over-current rating is 2.2A at 20oC and 1.6 A at 60oC.
Exceeding those ratings will trigger the fuse and interrupt the input power.
Warning
When over-rating conditions occur, the input power circuit is not cut off but stays in high
impedance state. The re-settable fuse will continuously generate heat under the false
condition. Users must immediately remove the DC input power and investigate the root
cause of the false conditions.
Figure 2 Electrical Connection of DC Input Connector (Front View)
5.2. Camera Link Port & PoCL compatibility
Each of the PHIRE modules has a MDR26 male plug for directly connecting to a 3M MDR26
female connector as specified in the Camera Link interface standard. The Camera Link interface
of the PHIRE system is fully compatible with the Base configuration specified in the Camera
Link standard, which consists of up to 24 bit of image data, FVAL, LVAL, DVAL, SP, CC1, CC2,
CC3, CC4 and a bi-directional serial port (Figure 1). The exact bit assignment is defined in
Appendix C of the Camera Link standard. PHx-68 supports max. 24 bit of image data with up to
68MHz of pixel clock rate. PHx-85 supports up to 24 bit of image data with up to 85MHz pixel
clock rate.
The PHIRE system is designed to be compatible with Power over Camera Link (PoCL), which is
specified in Camera Link standard appendix E. The pin 1 and 26 on the MDR26 plug are
assigned for delivering or receiving electrical power. Summary of PoCL features are listed
below.
Warning
Only 12V DC power supply should be used for PoCL applications. The 12V DC input on
CM module is directly passed to camera PoCL pins without circuit protection.

“Steady On” = module fails on initialization
“Blinking” = loss of optical link
Table 3 LED Functionality Descriptions
5.4. Optical I/O Port
The optical I/O port employs standard industrial small form factor pluggable optical transceivers.
Two fiber models use LC duplex connectors. Single fiber models can accept either SC or LC
simplex connector. The last three digits of the product part number indicate the type of fiber
cable and transmission distance. The letter “M” indicates the system comes with a SFP for
multimode(MM) fiber applications while “S” comes with a SFP for single mode(SM) fiber
applications. Please make sure you have the correct fiber cable before testing the units. For
more information about the fiber cable, please see paragraph 5.5 of this manual.
The PHIRE system you have purchased is designed to accept both multimode and single mode
SFP transceivers. This unique feature provides users with more flexibility and a cost effective
solution to apply the same PHIRE system to different applications that require different link
distance simply by changing the optical transceivers. If you would like to purchase additional
SFP transceivers from Phrontier Technologies, please consult our technical support for
assistance with selecting the correct SFP for your applications.
Inside the two-fiber SFP, the optical transmitter housed in the left LC connector port (when user
is facing the PHIRE unit) converts high speed electrical signals into optical signals which are
transmitted by infrared laser over optical fiber. The optical receiver is located inside the right LC

connector port and is responsible for converting optical signals into electrical signals. Figure 3
shows the correct optical fiber connection.
Figure 3 Optical fiber connection
Since the active area of the optical port is smaller than the intersection of a human hair, any
dust, soil or fiber debris can contaminate the optical I/O port and degrade system performance.
Please make sure the protection cap is always on when the fiber cable is not plugged in.
WARNING: The infrared laser beam from the optical output port is invisible to human eyes.
Users MUST NOT look directly into the optical I/O port while the unit is connected to power.
Failure to do so may cause PERMANENT eye injury.
5.5. Optical Fiber Cable
Optical fiber is used to carry optical signals between the PHIRE-CM and PHIRE-FG modules.
The fiber cable is not included in the package. You may purchase from Phrontier Technologies
or other vendors.
In general, there are two types of optical fibers, single mode (SM) fiber and multimode (MM)
fiber. SM fiber cable is normally color coded in yellow and MM fiber in orange. The SM fiber is
normally specified as 9/125 µm, which indicates the diameter of the fiber core to be 9 µm and
the fiber cladding to be 125 µm.
There are three types of standard multimode (MM) fibers, which are known as OM1 (62.5/125
µm), OM2 (50/125µm) and OM3 (50/125µm). Both OM1 and OM2 fibers are in orange color but
differ in fiber core diameter which cannot be distinguished by human eyes. Cable manufacturers
normally specify the type of fiber on the outer jacket of the cable. Otherwise, users need to
verify with the manufacturers. The OM3 fiber is in aqua or light blue color. It is newly deployed
for 10Gbit Ethernet applications. All three types of MM fibers can be used with Phrontier fiber
extenders. However, the maximum transmission distances will vary with the use of different type
of MM fibers. Please refer to the technical specifications for the estimated link distances.
Two types of standard optical fiber connectors are used with PHIRE products, LC and SC
connectors. Both can come with SM or MM fiber cables. Connectors with two fibers are called
duplex connectors. Connectors with only 1 fiber are called simplex connectors. PHIRE two fiber
models only work with LC duplex fiber cables. PHIRE-S series (one fiber models) can work with
either LC simplex or SC simplex cables.
Users need to select correct optical connector and type of fiber for proper operation. For
example, plug a SM duplex fiber into a MM model (e.g. PHR-68-M025) will result in system
failure due to excessive optical power loss at the connectors. If you have any question about
selecting optical cables, our sales representatives will be glad to help you.
