(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) -- IDS Imaging Development Systems expands its modular camera concept with a remote GigE PoE (power over ethernet) daughterboard. It enables power supply and data transfer via a single cable, thereby facilitating the integration of motherboard board-level cameras from the GigE uEye LE and uEye SLE series.

The motherboards are based on a flexible interface concept. Instead of a connector block, they feature a compact, flat ribbon connector, allowing connection via a flexible cable to a remote interface module.

This principle allows sensors and optics to be placed in the housing independently of the power supply and data connection—an advantage especially for individual or space-critical product designs.

“With the new PoE daughterboard, we’re once again significantly simplifying the use of our smallest single-board cameras,” says Marcus Rembold, product owner at IDS. “Power supply and data transmission can now be achieved using a single cable with an RJ45 connector, which makes integration more convenient for our customers and opens up additional freedom for individual housing concepts.”

Product overview: GigE uEye LE Rev.2/uEye SLE PoE daughterboard

Interface: Gigabit Ethernet with power over Ethernet (PoE, IEEE 802.3af)   

Connector: RJ45 socket for single-cable operation (power supply plus data transmission)   

Compatibility: Motherboard variants of the GigE uEye LE Rev. 2 and uEye SLE monitoring cameras   

Special features: Space-saving integration, reduced cabling, no additional power supply required   

Target applications: Customized housing concepts, space-critical designs, modular camera solutions

The new GigE PoE daughterboard opens up a wide range of possibilities for developers and integrators to create space-saving yet powerful camera systems.
