Overview
KAYA Instruments’
CoaXPress Range Extender over Fiber (KY_FEXT)
provides a high
resolution stream interface for distances of up to 10km over single-mode optic fiber and up to 300m
over multi-mode optic fiber. 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 system is
constructed of two convertors, one on the camera side (
KY_FEXT_D
) and one on the frame grabber
side (
KY_FEXT_H
). The camera side converter can provide power to the camera over CoaXPress
link, while the host side converter can sink power from the frame grabber. The converters use
flexible SFP+ modules for optical connection that can be easily changed. The range extender is able
to provide a downlink of up to 6.25Gbps (CXP6) and uplink of 20.83Mbps per each link.
