The CFL-5000 Extender supports camera signals and serial connections (both the SerTFG and
SerTC within the MDR cable, and three pairs of RS-232 lines). The CFL-5000 supports one or two
base Camera-Link cameras or one dual-base Camera-Link camera configurations. Each unit is
housed in a compact, metal enclosure (7.
00” x 5.44” x 1.19”). The CFL-5000 is available with SC-

Figure 4: CFL-5000 Camera Side (CFL-000M05-SCTX) and Frame Grabber Side (CFL-000M05-SCRX)
Each CFL-5000 configuration requires three fibers. The Camera Side Unit receives data from
each camera and converts the data into optical signals. These signals are sent to the CFL-5000
Frame Grabber Side Unit, which in turn converts the optical signals into video data and sends
them to the one dual-base frame grabber (CPU).
