2.3 Overview
KAYA Instruments’ Camera Link Range Extender over Fiber system (KY-EXT-CL)solution
provides a Camera Link video interface over fiber optic cable for distances up to 80km in single-
mode and up to 300m in multi-mode. Optic fiber is electrically isolated, hence it does not radiate
nor is it susceptible to electromagnetic interference, also eliminates the problems associated with
grounding. The fiber cable is not easily tapped, providing more secure communication. The range
extender is capable of supplying Power to Camera over PoCL. The system is constructed of two
convertors, one on the camera side (KY-CL2F-D Device Unit) and one on the Camera Link Frame
Grabber side (KY-CL2F-H Host Unit). The system uses flexible SFP+ modules for optical
connection that can be easily changed. The range extender is able to provide bandwidth of up to
10Gbps over single fiber cable, supporting Camera Link Full (Decca) with 85 MHz clock rate.
3.1 Features
Solves distance limitation of Camera Link
Camera Link Full (Deca) support with up to 85 Mhz
Bidirectional communication over single fiber cable
Standard MDR26 connectors
Extension for distances up to 80km in single-mode and up to 300m in multi-mode
PoCL support
Flexible SFP+ module for Fiber connection
Easy configuration
External power supply
0°C to 50°C operating environment temperature (commercial grade)
-40°C to 70°C operating environment temperature (industrial grade) (optional)
