Camera Interface and Connectors

4.7.1

Ethernet Connector

The 8-pin RJ-45 Ethernet jack is equipped with two (2) M2 screwholes for secure connection. Pin assignments conform
to the Ethernet standard.
4.7.2

Interface Cables

Category 5e or 6 cables up to 100 meters in length should be used for connecting the camera to the network interface
card on the host system. Point Grey sells a 5-meter Category 5e cable for this purpose.

4.7.3

Interface Card

The camera must connect to an interface card. This is sometimes called a host adapter, a bus controller, or a network
interface card (NIC).
A 1000 BASE-T NIC is recommended for streaming images on the Ethernet network between the camera and host
system.)
For optimal video streaming and camera control performance, we
recommend an Intel Pro chipset on a PCIe interface.

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

The camera has an 8-pin GPIO connector on the back of the case; refer to the diagram below for wire color-coding. The
connector is a Hirose HR25 8 pin connector with part number: HR25-7TR-8SA. The male connector is part number:
HR25-7TP-8P.
