ABOUT 3939
The Model 3939 is a single-width U-Port adapter module used in CAMAC Serial Highway systems operating in byte-serial mode to five megabytes per second. A unique clock restorer allows full five megabyte per second operation with up to 62 remote crates. U-Port adapter options allow a maximum fiber optic cable length of one kilometer or three kilometers.

When the elements of a CAMAC Serial Highway system are operated in byte-serial for maximum data rate, the D-Out port from the serial driver (SD) or serial crate controller (SCC) provides one balanced pair for clock and eight pair for the associated data byte. The 3939 transmitter serializes each byte and transmits the data at ten times the SC clock rate over a single fiber optic cable. The downstream 3939 receiver converts this serial word to a clock and eight data bits for presentation to the SCC or SC D-In port.

The 3939 can be used with a Type L-2 serial crate controller (such as the Model3952) or with a serial driver (such as the Model 3992 or 3994). The Model 1739U-Port Adapter is used with the 2050- or 2160-Series Serial Highway Drivers.
