DXGE interface
The SFP+ 10 GigE connectors permit to use (direct attach) copper cables or optical fiber cables with lengths of up to 400 m (10GBASE-SR).
- Use a single port for data rates up to 10 Gbit/s.
- For higher data rates connect both ports using Link Aggregation.
Network adapter
To establish a DXGE connection a network adapter with one or two SFP+ 10 GigE inputs must be installed and configured on the PC. The installation of a network adapter is explained in the GCT documentation. For more information, see Installation GigE.
For more information about the tested network adapters and the transceivers, see Tested Network adapters and Transceivers.
Cabling
 |  WARNING |
| Electric shock due to improper connection to a power supply. | |
| Use a 12 V – 24 V DC power supply. |
- Connect one or both video output ports.
- Connect the digital I/O port.
- Connect the power supply.
CXP interface
The interface allows you to connect up to four CXP cables. Micro BNC (for CXP12) connectors for the camera and suitable connectors for the frame grabber are required. The maximum cable length is 35 m.
Frame grabber
To establish a CXP connection a frame grabber must be installed and configured on the PC. Refer to the manual of your frame grabber.
For more information about the tested frame grabbers, see Tested frame grabbers.
Cabling
| WARNING |
| Electric shock due to improper connection to a power supply. | |
| Use a 12 V – 24 V DC power supply. |
- Connect port 0 (master port) of the video output port.NOTEFor the maximum line rate connect all four ports.
Make sure that port 0 of the camera is connected to port 0 (or A) of the frame grabber. Otherwise, no connection to the camera can be established. - Connect the digital I/O port.
Option 1: Power over CoaXPress (PoC)
To use the power-over-CXP function two connections are needed.
Connect port 0 and port 1 of the video output port.
Option 2: Power supply port
Connect the power supply.
Digital I/O port
The following connector is required for the digital I/O port:
- 15-pin HD D-Sub (male)
