CXP-over-Fiber delivers speeds up to 100 Gbps
Zebra Rapixo CoF frame grabbers leverage fiber optic technology to deliver unprecedented performance, reliability and flexibility for industrial imaging systems. The Rapixo CoF is available in two models, allowing for support of up to 100Gbps of throughput. By leveraging optical fiber technology, both models eliminate the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) inherent in copper wiring, all while enabling camera connections up to 250 meters without signal degradation. Rapixo CoF frame grabbers support up to four cameras to facilitate advanced applications like 3D imaging, multi-angle inspection and redundant monitoring systems.
- Achieve fibre enabled transfer speeds up 100 Gbps to support current and future high-speed CoaXPress 2.0 (CXP) cameras
- Configure onboard FPGA capabilities using Zebra FDK software’s component library and development tools
- Monitor and troubleshoot acquisition performance in detail with Aurora Gecho event-logging utility
- Connect cameras and PCs at distances up to 250 meters without signal degradation or additional amplification
