At automatica BitFlow will demonstrate its CoaXPress over Fiber (CoF) interface technology between the new BitFlow Claxon Fiber frame grabber and CoF machine vision cameras by Optronis, IO Industries, and other manufacturers. The Claxon Fiber is a PCIe Gen3 x8 CXPoF board configured with a single port for QSFP+ hot-swappable, parallel fiber-optical/copper transceiver modules. Equipping the grabber with a QSFP+ module provides the flexibility of running multi-mode fiber cable up to 150m between cameras and the PC, or running single-mode fiber cables a maximum of 40km.
