The PowerPlus 3000 system is used with CopperHead links, delivering electrical current to a
video camera equipped with a CopperHead Camera Unit by adding power to an SMPTE
Hybrid cable. The system consists of a camera-mountable PowerPlus adaptor at the camera,
and the HDX Power Supply, located some distance away (up to 2 km), and connected by
SMPTE Hybrid cable.
All of the signals on the two strands of fiber connecting the CopperHead Camera Unit and
the CopperHead Base Station are passed transparently through the PowerPlus and the HDX
Power Supply.
The standard PowerPlus provides up to 100 watts of power to the camera and accessories.
The High Profile PowerPlus can provide up to 150 watts.
The PowerPlus delivers a nominal 14 Volts to the camera through the battery plate, as well
as to a 4-pin XLR connector for powering additional accessories.
For applications where 24 volt power is required at the camera, the 12/24 power option
provides this voltage to two 3-pin Lemo connectors on the PowerPlus adaptor.
Fig. 1-1: CopperHead System Using PowerPlus and HDX
The first part of the fiber run can be made via “dry” tactical or infrastructure fiber, after
which the HDX power supply is placed in line to provide a powered SMPTE hybrid fiber
cable for the camera. Such a system is typically configured as shown in Figure 1-1 and
includes the following components:
A. Camera Unit
B. PowerPlus
C. CHCR camera remote cable
D. DC-powered Base Station*.
E. CHBR base remote cable
F. Tactical fiber or Infrastructure fiber run
G. HDX Power Supply
H.SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber optic cable
I. ADAP 12VDC power supply
The Base Station can be separated from the HDX power supply on “dry fiber” (F) by more
than nine kilometers (5.6 miles) , where powered hybrid cable (H) can be run to the camera
for another two km (1.2 miles).

Optical Fiber Safety
Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is
operating.
Always use cable connector caps when the cables are not connected. This protects the
connector from damage and the unlikely event of exposure to an operating optical link.
Keeping the caps in place when the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust
from entering the connector and degrading the performance of the optical link.
Power Fuses
The HDX is equipped with two fuses located next to the AC Power receptacle on the front
of the unit. Refer to section HDX Fuse Holder on page 15 for specific fuse and location
information.
Never operate the HDX without properly installed and rated fuses. Severe electrical and
heat damage could result as well as personal injury or death.

PowerPlus 3000 Components
This chapter describes the components included with the PowerPlus 3000 system.
The CopperHead PowerPlus 3000 power adaptor with standard "Low Profile" heat sink
(Figure 3-1) provides a continuous 100 watts of 12VDC power (150 watts momentary) and
fiber cable signal connectivity from Base Station to the Camera. It also provides an external
power feed of 12VDC and optionally 24VDC for external accessories.
The PowerPlus can be equipped with a High Profile heat sink (Figure 3-1) for power
requirements up to 150 Watts.
The PowerPlus unit is equipped with a fixed tactical fiber dongle that can be terminated
with either an OpticalCON plug, an SMPTE 304M plug, or an MX plug. This dongle plugs into
the complimentary swivel of the CopperHead Camera Unit.
The PowerPlus is connected to the HDX power supply using Hybrid fiber cable with SMPTE
304 connectors. See Mounting the PowerPlus on page 7.
The distance between the HDX power adaptor and the camera can be up to 2 km (1.2 miles)
using Hybrid fiber cable and the distance between the HDX power adaptor and Base
Station can be up to 8 km (4.3 miles).

HDX Power Supply
The HDX Power Supply unit is required when using the PowerPlus Camera Adaptor. The
HDX can be used as a free-standing unit or rack mounted, using the HDX-FR-2 for mounting
one or two HDX units.
The HDX unit sends power via a SMPTE hybrid fiber cable to the PowerPlus, where it
is converted to 12VDC and optionally to 24VDC). See Connecting the HDX Power Supply
and Camera Unit on page 8 for details on connecting the HDX to a CopperHead system.

User Guide
Fig. 3-5: HDX Fuse Holder
The fuse holder can hold two 1/4" x 1-1/4" (3AG) or shorter 5 x 20mm (metric) fuses. If using
the shorter fuses, be sure the fuse is positioned "forward" towards the HDX power supply,
as shown in Figure 3-5.

§ At HDX power levels (>95VDC), the powered OpticalCON connector is suitable for
indoor (studio) camera links only, under specific conditions according to IEC 60664-1
“Pollution Degree 1,” where there is zero humidity, zero expected condensation and zero
conductive pollution. The powered OpticalCON connector is NOT suitable for outdoor/field
use where humidity/condensation may be present. For detailed information ask for the
Neutrik White Paper "OpticalCON Camera Applications Using Hybrid SMPTE Cables Where
Voltage Exceeds 50V".
* The maximum cable length varies due to optical loss that can depend on cable quality,
dirt/dust/contamination on connectors, and the number of cable connectors. When using
hybrid cable for camera power, the size and condition of the hybrid cable, as well as the
power draw of the camera, lens, viewfinder, and other accessories are also factors.
