Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision Camera Technical Specifications 99
Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements
In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch is not desired, a fiber-optic
media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems (http://www.omnitron-systems.com/)
converts GigE to fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m
(720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.
Important: The inclusion in this manual of GigE to fiber-optic converters does not guarantee they will meet
specific application requirements or performance. The user must evaluate any supplemental Ethernet equipment.
