Chapter 9 - AdeptVision VME Module (VIS)
114 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
Four-Camera Breakout Cable
This cable has a 44-pin D-sub connector on one end and it breaks out to four 12-pin
Hirose-style camera connectors and one 9-pin D-sub connector on the other end. The
length of the cable is 1.8 meters (70").
Due to the current limitation of the VMEbus specification, the VIS module cannot supply
enough current to operate all four cameras from the four-camera cable. You must supply
the external power to operate the cameras when using this cable. This power must be
routed through the 9-pin D-sub connector; see the drawing below and Table 9-4 for pin
information.

10-Meter Adept MV Camera Cables
The 10-meter Adept MV Camera cables have a male Hirose connector on one end and a
female Hirose connector on the other end. These cables are intended to go between the
breakout cables and the connectors on the cameras. Each camera requires one of these
cables (or an equivalent).
