<Note: Choosing the appropriate Camera Link cable length >
According to the Camera Link Specification, the maximum cable length is 10m.
But the maximum cable length to be able to transfer data depends on the type of
cable performance and clock speed. The actual maximum transmission distance
becomes less than 10m at faster clock speeds, though the transmission distance
of 10m is feasible at slower clock speeds.
The following table shows values being calculated in accordance with the
Camera
Link
Specification
2007.Version1.2,
using
a
typical
cable
(14B26-SZLB-xxx-0LC from 3M) and frame grabber board (Solios from Matrox).
Please choose the appropriate Camera Link cable type and length for your
application. We recommend you perform a connection test in advance.
