Overview
The CLR-101B Camera Link
TM
1
Repeater supports applications requiring separation
between camera and frame grabber in excess of the maximum Camera Link
TM
cable
length (10 meters).
One Camera Link
TM
cable connects the camera to the CLR-101B, and a second cable
connects the CLR-101B to the frame grabber. This solution provides a 20 meter reach
between camera and frame grabber using a pair of standard 10m Camera Link
TM
cables.
Up-to three repeaters may be cascaded to support greater distances. CLR-101B
incorporates high-speed 85MHz interfaces and is compatible with any Camera Link
“Base” configuration camera. “Medium” configuration applications are supported using
two repeaters in parallel.
Featuring a sturdy compact enclosure with mounting flange and locking power supply
connector, the CLR-101B is well suited for OEM and industrial applications.
