5.4 Camera Cabling Requirements
5.4.1 Ethernet Cables
Use high-quality Ethernet cables. To avoid EMI, the cables must be shielded. Use of category 6 or
category 7 cables with S/STP shielding is strongly recommended. As a general rule, applications
with longer cables or applications in harsh EMI conditions require higher category cables.
Either a straight-through (patch) or a cross-over Ethernet cable can be used to connect the camera
directly to a GigE network adapter in a PC or to a GigE network switch.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
5.4.2 Standard Power and I/O Cable
A single "standard power and I/O cable" is used to connect power to the camera and to connect to
the camera’s I/O lines as shown in Figure 11.
The end of the standard power and I/O cable that connects to the camera must be terminated with
a Hirose micro plug (part number HR10A-10P-12S) or the equivalent. The cable must be wired to
conform with the pin assignments shown in the pin assignment table.
The maximum length of the standard power and I/O cable is at least 10 meters. The cable must be
shielded.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
The required 12-pin Hirose plug is available from Basler. Basler also offers a cable assembly that
is terminated with a 12-pin Hirose plug on one end and unterminated on the other. Contact your
Basler sales representative to order connectors or cables.
The standard power and I/O cable is intended for use when the camera is not
connected to a PLC device. If the camera is connected to a PLC device, we
recommend using a PLC power and I/O cable rather than the standard power
and I/O cable.
If power for the I/O inputs is supplied at 24 VDC, you can use a PLC power
and I/O cable when the camera is not connected to a PLC device.
See the following section for more information on PLC power and I/O cables.
