The Phantom Miro Junction Box 2.0 offers true flexibility and modularity in building multi-camera configurations as simple or complex as needed. Designed to work with all Miro cameras, the JBox is a rugged and sensible connection hub. It maximises camera capability in the most difficult of situations.

The JBox is Hi-G. It’s been tested to withstand shocks to 170G IAW MIL-STD 202G, and vibration of 17 grms IAW MIL-STD 202G. This makes it a perfect companion to the Miro C210J for tough applications like on-board crash testing.

The JBox can be used in several ways to match the specific application:

• Custom-wire the system cable directly into an umbilical cord for direct signal control
• Connect the JBox to other JBoxes in a daisy chain or tree branch configuration
• Connect directly to a local laptop via Ethernet using the ruggedised RJ45 Ethernet connector
• Connect the system cable to a custom Control Breakout Box to cleanly and easily connect to customer signalling and Ethernet
• The system cables, Rugged Ethernet cable, Sorenson Programmable power supply and 280W Power supply are available to order from Link Gulf.

Key Features

6 Camera Ports

The Miro JBox has 6 ports, each of which can connect to a Phantom Miro camera, another Miro JBox System Port. Alternatively, 4 of the ports can connect to Phantom VEO S Models. Each port carries Ethernet, power, serial, and Miro Camera signals, so only one cable is needed to connect to the cameras.

Additionally, each port has 2 status LEDs, one for Ethernet and one for camera status, for easy setup and use. The ports use rugged Fischer connectors to accept Miro System cables.

System Port

The System Port provides Ethernet, serial, and Miro Camera signals to the Junction Box to be distributed to the cameras or other Junction Boxes. It has the same pin-outs and Fischer connector as the Camera ports. It also accepts the Miro System Cable. This means fewer cable types for easier inventory management.

Power

The Junction Box operates at 20 36VDC. Power is provided through a single power port with a rugged Amphenol connector. If multiple JBoxes are connected, each JBox must be powered. Customers may supply their own power, or connect the JBox to a programmable power supply. Each camera port accepts up to 2A.

Ready BNC

Ready pertains to all cameras connected to the JBox. If multiple JBoxes are connected, global Ready is on the originating (Master) JBox.

Trigger BNC

The Trigger BNC provides simple access for Trigger, which is also provided through the System connector. The LED status light is green if the BNC trigger is asserted, blue if the System trigger is asserted.

Aux BNC

The Aux BNC provides Selectable strobe or FSYNC for synchronisation with equipment such as pulsed LED lighting.

Ethernet

The Rugged RJ45 Ethernet connector provides direct access to a local laptop via Ethernet, which is also provided through the System connector.
