Benefits

Connect a CXP-12 camera to a Coaxlink QSFP+ frame grabber The Coaxlink CXP-12 to QSFP+ Converter allows connecting a CXP-12 camera to a Coaxlink QSFP+ frame grabber using fiber optics. With multi-mode fibers, the maximum cable length can reach 150 meters. With single-mode fibers, the maximum cable length can reach 40 kilometers.

What is CoaXPress-over-Fiber?

CoaXPress-over-Fiber is a light but significant extension of the existing CoaXPress specification to support transport over fiber optics.

CoaXPress (CXP) is the de-facto standard for high-bandwidth computer vision applications. CoaXPress 2.0. the latest version of the specification, specifies the CXP-12 speed, a 12.5 Gbps (Gigabit per second) link over a coaxial copper cable.

As link aggregation is common with CoaXPress, bandwidths of 5.000 MB/s (1.250 MB/s x 4) are easily achievable with four CXP-12 links. The CoaXPress specification is hosted by the JIIA (Japan Industrial Imaging Association).

CoaXPress-over-Fiber has been designed as an add-on to the CoaXPress 2.0 specification. It provides a way to run the CoaXPress protocol, as it is, unmodified, over a standard Ethernet connection, including fiber optics. As such, CoaXPressover-Fiber uses standard electronics, connectors and cables designed for Ethernet, but the protocol is CoaXPress, not Ethernet, not GigE Vision.
