own cable is not recommended due to the high-speed signaling on the Camera Link
interface.

Camera Link cable ordering information.
National Instruments provides a generic 15-pin cable assembly kit

If you decide to build a custom cable, National Instruments recommends
that you use twisted pair wiring to help reduce noise pickup from outside
sources and crosstalk. TTL I/O lines should be twisted together with a wire
connected to DGND. Isolated input and RS-422 input lines should be
twisted together in their proper +/– pairs.

connector pin assignments.
Use a standard Camera Link cable to connect your camera to the MDR
26-pin connector on the NI 1426. Camera Link cables consist of two MDR
26-pin male plugs linked with a twin-axial shielded cable and are available
in two shell configurations.
Refer to the Specifications of the Camera Link Interface Standard for
Digital Cameras and Frame Grabbers manual for more information about
Camera Link cables.
