1. Introduction 

Camera Link

TM

 is a high-speed camera/frame grabber interface designed for high performance 

vision applications. However, normal copper links can only deliver the signal for 10 meters or 
shorter.  PHIRE is designed to directly plug into the cameras/frame grabbers to covert the 
electrical signals into optical signals, which  can be transported by optical fibers for over 80km 
without any kind of repeaters or amplifiers in between.
