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

The standard power and I/O cable is intended for use if 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 input 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.
A single "standard power and I/O cable" is used to supply power to the camera and to connect to
the camera's I/O lines as shown in Figure 22. If you are supplying power to the camera via Power
over Ethernet, the cable will not be used to supply power to the camera, but still can be used to
connect to the I/O lines.
If you supply power to the camera via Power over Ethernet (PoE) and you also supply power to the
camera's 6-pin connector via a standard power and I/O cable, the camera will use the power
supplied to the 6-pin connector. Power supplied to the camera's 6-pin connector always has priority,
and the power supplied to the 6-pin connector must meet the specifications outlined in the "Camera
Power" section of this manual.
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-7P-6S) 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 and must be constructed with twisted pair wire. Use of twisted pair wire is essential to
ensure that input signals are correctly received.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
