About CopperHead PowerWafer
About CopperHead PowerWafer
About CopperHead PowerWafer
The CopperHead System is a fiber optic transmission system that enables camcorders to be used in live, multi-camera production environments.
The system uses a fiber optic cable to transport a variety of signals between a Camera Unit and a Base Station.
The CopperHead Camera Unit is typically mounted to a camera that is placed in a studio, theatre, sports venue, or other live-event location. The system's Base Station is usually located in a truck, control room or other video production control area.
When "dry" fiber is used (typically lightweight "tactical" fiber cable), the signals are transmitted bi-directionally, over distances as long as 5 km or more.
When hybrid fiber cable is used, the link powers the Camera Unit and the camera itself.
CopperHead System Features
• The system makes any camcorder practical for multi-camera production.
• All camera signals are carried on one lightweight fiber cable.
• Can be run through building or campus infrastructure on two strands of Single Mode fiber.*
• Thin, lightweight, modular design.
• Studio quality uncompressed HD/SDI video up to 3 Gb/s.
• Multi-kilometer distance capability
• Anton/Bauer® Gold Mount and "V-Mount" battery options
• Wide temp range, low power consumption
• Durable, high reliability design
• Two fiber cable options
• Tactical Fiber: Military Spec, battery/local power, 10+km
•SMPTE Hybrid Fiber
• Low voltage camera-mounted "PowerWafer": 95 watts to 300m (984 ft.)
• High-voltage camera-mounted "PowerPlus": up to 150 watts to 2 km (1.2 miles)

Note: The CopperHead System is not readily compatible with active or passive CWDM multiplexing technologies, including Teleport or TeleThon systems.
Unpacking the CopperHead PowerWafer
Please consult your packing slip and purchase order to insure that you have received all of the expected components.
Inspect all components for scratches and other mechanical damage, and inspect the electrical connectors for bent or damaged pins and latches. Report any missing or
damaged components to Miranda (see Contact Us on page 35). See Product Returns on
page 3.
Leave the protective caps on the optical connectors whenever the fiber is disconnected.
Product Returns
In the unlikely event of damage to your CopperHead PowerWafer during shipping or delivery please note the damage with the delivery or shipping service and document the packaging and product where you see damage. If any component does not work correctly out of the box please contact Miranda (see Contact Us on page 35).

User Guide
If the problem cannot be remedied through a service telephone call an RMA (Return of Merchandise Authorization) will be issued and you will receive an RMA number. Please note this RMA number inside and outside of all shipping boxes and on all documentation provided with the items to be returned.
About this User Guide
This CopperHead Fiber Optic Transceiver System can be delivered in a number of configurations depending on the Power and Battery Mount options selected. This user guide is designed to cover all of the various options and so not every page in this guide will apply to your specific system.
Throughout this guide a number of informational pointers are used to mark important or useful information.

Safety and Fiber Optic Systems
Safety and Fiber Optic Systems
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 CopperHead PowerWafer Base Stations CHG3-BS-3050-95VD-xxx-xxx are equipped with two fuses located next to the AC Power receptacle at the left rear of the unit. Refer to
Connectors and Accessories on page 37 for specific fuse and location information.

System Overview
CopperHead System Configurations
CopperHead System Configurations
The CopperHead system is available in a variety of configurations that maximize the advantages of either "dry" fiber cable, "hybrid" fiber cable, or a combination of the two.
Powered Systems using the PowerWafer
CopperHead Base Stations can be equipped with an internal power supply that, when used with SMPTE hybrid fiber cable and a PowerWafer at the Camera Unit, will deliver approximately 95 Watts of power to the camera and related accessories.
Fig. 2-1: Powered System Overview
The maximum range of the system is nominally 240 meters (787 feet)* when drawing 95 watts at the camera, but distances will vary depending on total power draw at the PowerWafer, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Fig. 2-2: PowerWafer Distance Chart
* The maximum operational 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 cables for camera power, the size of the hybrid cable, as well as the power draw of the camera, lens, viewfinder, and other accessories are also factors.

System Overview
Powered Systems using the PowerWafer
PowerWafer, Direct to Base Station
When connected directly to an AC-powered Base Station using SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, the system delivers up to 95 watts of power to the camera and accessories. Such a system is typically configured as shown in Figure 2-3, and includes the following components:
• A: Camera Unit
• B: AC-powered Base Station with internal camera power supply
• C: PowerWafer

Power Wafer, Remote Panel-Mounted Fiber Connector
The hybrid fiber receptacle may be mounted a distance from the Base Station if the station is equipped with a pair of inexpensive ST fiber connectors and a Molex receptacle to carry power, as shown in Figure 2-4. A breakout cable can be used to connect the hybrid fiber receptacle to Base Station, or infrastructure wiring can be used.

System Overview
Powered Systems using the PowerWafer
PowerWafer, with MPS Power Supply
Systems can be configured so that the majority of the fiber run is made via "dry" tactical or infrastructure fiber, after which a "throwdown" MPS Power Supply is placed in line to provide powered SMPTE hybrid fiber cable to the camera. In this configuration, as shown in
Figure 2-5, the Base Station can be separated from the MPS power supply by more than
nine kilometers (5.6 miles), where powered cable can be run to the camera for 240 meters (780 feet), providing up to 95 watts of power to the camera and accessories.
