The RCX C-Link Fiber Optic Camera
Adapter
The RCX C-Link Fiber Optic Camera Adapter is a fiber optic adapter for Camera Link™ cameras. The
RCX C-Link attaches to the back of the camera, taking little more room than an ordinary Camera Link
cable connector. An LC duplex fiber optic cable plugs into the RCX C-Link to allow communication with
a PCI DV FOX frame-grabber, as described in
Using a Base-mode RCX C-Link With a PCI DV FOX
on page 2
.
Or, two RCX C-Link modules can be used as a fiber optic extension cord with a third-party
frame-grabber, as described in
Using a Base-mode RCX C-Link As an Extension Cord on page 4
.
EDT software drivers provide the same programmer interface to the PCI DV FOX fiber optic frame-
grabber as to our other frame-grabbers.
