CLB-501B

The CLB-501B Camera Link Breakout Box provides convenient access to the data transferred between camera and frame grabber over a Camera Link connection.  All video, control, and communication data can be monitored and/or sourced via a standard header connector located on the rear panel.

CLB-501B incorporates high-speed 85MHz interfaces and is compatible with all Camera Link “base” configuration cameras.  A front-panel link status indicator identifies an active connection.

The CLB-501B is housed in a sturdy, compact aluminum enclosure.  A locking-plug power supply is optional.

To ensure data integrity, we recommend limiting Camera Link cable length for cameras with high clock frequencies as follows:

Camera Frequency	Max Cable Length
20-60 MHz	10m
61-79 MHz	7m
80-85 MHz	5m

For example, cables used to connect the camera to the breakout AND the breakout to the frame grabber should be no longer than 5m with an 85 MHz camera.
