Linea HS Series Camera User's Manual AxCIS Series Camera Features • 11
AxCIS module is Camera Link HS version 1.0 compliant. Camera Link HS is the next generation of
high-performance communications standards. It is used where an industrial digital camera
interfaces with a single or multiple frame grabbers and with data rates exceeding those supported
by the LVDS based Camera Link standard.
The AxCIS modules sections come with a dual SFP+ XCVR cage where one or two 10G XCVR
modules can be added along with associated LC Fiber Optic cables as required to support image
data bandwidth requirements.
Note that the SFP+ XCVR are not included with the module and can be ordered separately from
TeledyneDALSA or from another vendor who supplies compliant modules.

The command channel is used by the frame grabber to send commands, configuration and
programming data to the camera and to receive command responses, status and image data from
the camera. Image data and command transmissions use CLHS X protocol (64b / 66b) at the
default speed of 10 Gb/s per cable.
Image Data Cables and Transceivers
The fiber optic cables require LC connections and XCVR modules on both ends of the cable.
LC is a small-form factor fiber optic connector that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule, half the size of a
standard connector. These cables are in wide use in the telecommunications industry and available
in many lengths.
The distance through which the data can be transmitted depends on the type of fiber optic used.
Recommended fiber optic cables are types OM3 and OM4.
OM4 is used for distances > 300 m, but also requires SFP+ transceiver module changes.
Contact Teledyne DALSA Support for more information on recommended cables.
