2.2 Cable Information
2.2.1 Camera Link Cable
The Camera Link specification requires the use of a standard MDR cable assembly manufactured
by 3M (part # 14X26-SZLB-XXX-0LC).
The maximum allowed length for the MDR cable used with an A501
allowed length for the MDR cable used with an A504
A Camera Link compatible MDR cable assembly is available from Basler as a stock item (part #
1000013905 for a 3 meter cable and part # 1000013906 for a 5 meter cable). Alternatively, you
can use the cable assembly manufactured by 3M (part # 14X26-SZLB-XXX-0LC). The A501
can also use a base configuration Camera Link cable. See the cable information on the Basler
website www.baslerweb.com.
The maximum cable length will decrease when used in an area with severe ambient
electromagnetic interference.
2.2.2 Power Cable
A Hirose, 6-pin locking plug will be shipped with each camera. This plug should be used to
terminate the cable on the power supply for the camera. For proper EMI protection, the power
supply cable attached to this plug must be a twin-cored, shielded cable. Also, the housing of the
Hirose plug must be connected to the cable shield and the cable must be connected to earth
ground at the power supply.
