Cabling
The VisionLink XF requires Camera Link, fiberoptic, and power cables, as explained below.
Camera Link
Use standard Camera Link cables (SDR-to-SDR or SDR-to-MDR) to connect the VisionLink XF units to the camera and
the framegrabber. EDT recommends that these cables should be one meter or less in length. You may use longer
cables, but they may introduce noise into your image data – particularly if you use a camera with a high pixel clock rate.
For Camera Link pin assignments, see
.
Fiberoptic
Use fiberoptic cabling to connect the two VisionLink XF units to each other. The type of cabling you need will depend
on where you install the system, and which transceivers you use (for transceiver specifications, see
). EDT stocks a small number of options for fiberoptic cable assemblies; if these options do not meet your
needs, you should contact a provider of such assemblies (see
for some of these providers).
Power and Auxiliary
EDT ships your VisionLink XF extenders with a power adapter and a connecting cable. For options and pin
assignments, see
