Itala | INSTRUCTION MANUAL
4.2.3 Ethernet cable
Connect the camera to the host device with a suitable Cat 5e Ethernet cable or better, compliant
with ANSI/TIA-568 standard. A shielded cable can be used to improve the system EMI immunity,
especially in harsh industrial environments.
Itala cameras come with 2 x M2 threaded holes for use with screw lock RJ45 connectors. For moving
applications (e.g. camera mounted on a robotic arm) use screw lock connectors and cable strain
reliefs to ensure a reliable connection. A high-flexibility cable specifically designed for a high num-
ber of bending cycles is also recommended.
See section 5.5 for the cameras dimensional drawings.
If you intend to power the camera with PoE (Power over Ethernet), connect the cable to a suitable
PoE injector or NIC (network interface card).
CAUTION: always use certified IEEE 802.3af PoE power supplies, injectors and NICs.
Failing to do so may result in damaging the camera.
HAZARD: cables should be arranged carefully, avoiding pinching, sharp corners and
excessive tension. Failing to do so can lead to short circuits, damage to the appli-
ances or even fire.
4.2.4 GPIO cable
The camera can also be powered through the GPIO (general purpose input/output) port, using a
suitable GPIO cable and power supply. Always use shielded cables for better performance and EMI
immunity. See section 5.6 for the GPIO connector pinout and section 5.2 for the complete list of
Itala cameras electrical specifications.
Firmly plug in the push-pull connector paying attention to the correct orientation.
CAUTION: don’t force the connector if you encounter too much resistance. Check the
connector orientation and try again.
For moving applications (e.g. camera mounted on a robotic arm) a high-flexibility cable specifically
designed for a high number of bending cycles is recommended.
