9.4 Cabling Requirements

9.4.1

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 the PC or to a network switch.
9.4.2

Power and I/O Cable

A single cable is used to connect power to the camera and to connect to the camera's I/O lines as
shown in Figure 26.
The end of the power and I/O cable that connects to the camera must be terminated with a Hirose
micro plug (part number HR10A-10P-12S) or the equivalent. The cable must be wired to conform
with the pin assignments shown in the pin assignment tables.
The maximum length of the 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.
The required 12-pin Hirose plug is available from Basler. Basler also offers a cable assembly that
is terminated with a 12-pin Hirose plug on one end and unterminated on the other. Contact your
Basler sales representative to order connectors or cables.
An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the 12-pin Connector
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera's 12-pin connector must
have 12 pins. Use of a smaller plug, such as one with 10 pins or 8 pins, can
damage the pins in the camera's 12-pin connector.
