The Euresys Coaxlink QSFP28 is a 100G CoaXPress-over-Fiber frame grabber designed for extremely high-bandwidth machine vision and image acquisition applications. Featuring one QSFP28 port with four 25 Gbps CXP-31 CoaXPress-over-Fiber connections, the board provides up to 100 Gbps (12,500 MB/s) aggregate camera bandwidth and a PCIe 4.0 x8 host interface with up to 13,500 MB/s sustained bus bandwidth. The Coaxlink QSFP28 supports high-performance area scan and line scan cameras and features 8 GB onboard memory, 20 digital I/O lines, advanced camera triggering and synchronization, and C2C-Link support for demanding industrial imaging systems.
Euresys frame grabbers provide high-performance image acquisition for demanding machine vision, industrial inspection, automation, and scientific imaging applications. Available for CoaXPress, CoaXPress-over-Fiber, and Camera Link cameras, Euresys frame grabbers combine high-speed data transfer with advanced triggering, synchronization, and camera control.
