4Key Features
4.1 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.
4.2 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)
4.3 Product Applications

5System Description
5.1 External View of the KY-EXT-CL system
Each KY-CL2F-D/H (device/host) unit is housed in a compact, metal enclosure. Each unit has a power
connector, 2 Camera Link connectors (MDR), SFP+ cage, 2 x RJ45 connectors for GPIO and a Mini USB
Terminal interface, as shown in Figure 1.

Each of the Camera Link and SFP+ connectors is paired with a status LED and there is a system status LED
(see 5.3 section describing the LED status).
Each unit also has mount ears for an easy and secure installation on any flat surface.
5.2 Power supply
This device requires 12V power supply for proper function. The positive pin of the power supply connected
to the bottom pin of the connector, shown as “12V”, the negative pin connected to the upper right pin of the
connector, shown as “GND”. The power connector shown in Figure 1. The power connector used in each KY-
CL2F-D/H (device/host) unit is Tini-QG RA PC 3 pin (TRA3M SERIES). The mating connector of the power
connector is TA3FX.
Please, refer to Electrical specification section of this document for exact Power Supply requirements.
5.3 LEDs description
Each unit has several status LEDs, as seen in Figure 2.
