Usb3.0 Interface (Ucc); Cabling Requirements - Smartek UCC User Manual

3.2 USB3.0 Interface (UCC)

The USB3.0 interface provides configuration access to the camera and is also used for image data
transmission. The connector is a standardized USB3.0 micro-B jack, the recommended mating connector
is a standard Micro-B USB3.0 connector with screw lock.

3.2.1 Cabling Requirements

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
issues in performance.
