Firewire
over fiber optic cable! The CV1280F has an IEEE-1394B-optical
port with direct fiberoptic output (it also has a standard 1394A
port). Very long cable lengths with superior cable flex make the
CV1280F unique among machine vision cameras.
The
CV1280F is suited for applications requiring especially long cable
length (up to 500 meters) such as security installations, traffic
monitoring, and hazardous environment imaging. The highly flexible
cable also makes it particularly suited to robotic applications.
For
applications that do not require fiber optic cable, the CV1280
with standard IEEE-1394A ports is a more economical choice and
is otherwise identical to the CV1280F
