7.2 USB3 Vision

7.2.1 Choosing the right USB3.0 Host Controller

To set up a stable high performance USB 3.0 system, all the system components must be carefully chosen
to sustain large amount of data generated by the USB3 Vision twentynine camera. The most important
component is the USB3.0 Host Controller as some of the controllers may degrade the performance
drastically.
Recommended USB3.0 Host Controllers:
PC Motherboards with Intel Haswell or newer chipsets
PCI Express (PCI-E) host adapter cards with:
– Fresco Logic FL1100 USB3.0 host controller chipset
– Renesas uPD720201 USB3.0 host controller chipsets

7.2.2 USB 3.0 Cabling Recommendation

To connect the camera to a PC, a USB3.0 A to micro-B cable is required. As USB3.0 is a very compact
high-speed interface, it is highly recommended to only use industrial grade cabling assembled with
high-grade connectors providing appropiate locking to the camera port. The ratio between high-frequency
characteristics and cooper wire gauge results into a maximum possible cable length. To avoid EMI, it is
recommendet to use only shielded cables, a close installation to high frequency electromagnetic fields
should be avoided.
Bad cabling, connectors and/or shielding can lead to decreased performance (e.g.
framerates) up to connection interrupts. It is thus highly recommended to purchase the
Note
right industrial cabling from our local SMARTEK Vision distribution partner to prevent
issue in performance.
