Detailed Description
MPS External Power Wafer Power Supply
Up to 95 watts of power can be delivered to the camera, Camera Unit, and camera powered
accessories. Up to 780 feet (240 meters) of cable can be used when the Camera Unit is
powered directly from the Base Station.
The use of an external power supply can extend Base Station to Camera range and increase
camera power flexibility. The MPS "Throw Down" device or Wafer Power Adaptor provides
this functionality. This unit is described on
MPS External Power Wafer Power Supply on
page 30.
The Power Wafer replaces the battery or local battery mount AC adaptor ( Figure 3-26
displays the V-Mount Battery Mount option).
A short jumper cable carries power from the Camera Unit to the Power Wafer. The power
comes to the camera on the power section of the Hybrid Fiber Cable.
MPS External Power Wafer Power Supply
The CopperHead MPS external power supply provides 95 watts of 12VDC power and fiber
cable signal connectivity from the Base Station to the Camera. From the MPS unit to the
camera can be configured using either a Hybrid OpticalCON connector or a SMPTE 304M
connector. The length available is up to 780 feet or 240 meters.
From the MPS unit to the Base Station can be configured using a non-hybrid OpticalCON
connector or two ST connectors. The length available is up to 5 kilometers (3 miles).
The MPS is powered locally with standard AC power. The unit is free standing.
