A C-Mount is a type of lens mount commonly found on CCTV cameras, machine vision cameras, and microscopes. C-mount lenses provide a male thread, which mates with a female thread on the camera. The thread is nominally 1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter, with 32 threads per inch (0.794 mm pitch).

● This USB 3.0 over fiber extender has low radio frequency interference/electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for sensitive electromagnetic environments.

● The Fiber USB Extender is compatible with USB3.0 protocol and supports USB camera, printer, USB flash drives, scanner, touch screen, and other devices.

The fiber USB extender consists of a transmitter and a receiver and extends the host’s USB interface (USB 3.0) to a remote location and expands it to 4 USB ports through single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic.

TipThe flange focal distance is 17.526 millimeters (0.6900 in) for a C-Mount. CS-Mount has a flange focal distance of 12.526 millimeters (0.4931 in) but is otherwise the same as C-Mount, including the fact that lenses for many different formats are made for it.

Most of Arducam camera modules are compatible with 18mm and 20mm hole spacing, which match the majority of the lens holder’s. Here is a video showing how to do that.

The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, on the other hand, is not the same case. It’s lens holders – officially called the main housing – is not designed to be easily interchangeable.

The USB 3.0 over fiber extender can be applied in video conferencing, multimedia information dissemination, government departments, medical systems, commercial displays, multimedia function rooms, security monitoring, public utilities and other fields.

In some circumstances, you might want to convert the C/CS-Mount to an M12 mount. There are two ways to achieve that depending on the type of the CS Mount to be adapted.

The maximum transmission distance is 0-200m. It supports high-speed cameras, hard drives, printers, scanners, audio devices, touch screens, game controllers and other devices of the 3.0 type, and does not support USB 2.0/USB 1.1.

Therefore, if you find you cannot manage to focus a CS-Mount lens, check if you leave the 5mm C-CS adapter on the thread.

Arducam offers C Mount adapters for Canon and Nikon lenses. Therefore, the C-CS adapter is required if you are using the DSLR lenses on a CS-Mount camera.

Therefore, to adapter a CS-mount camera like this, you need an M12 to CS-Mount adapter. Here is an illustration of how that works.

If you are using Arducam camera modules with CS-Mount, you can easily replace the CS-mount with an M12 mount by changing the lens holder.

● Special technology ensures that the device functions correctly when the fiber optic is reconnected or the power is restarted.

Since CS-Mount is basically the same as C-Mount except for the flange focal distance, you can adapter a CS-Mount to C Mount by adding a 5mm C-CS adapter to a CS-Mount to use with C-Mount lenses.
