Basler sprint Mono Cameras 29
2.4 Cabling Requirements
2.4.1 Camera Link Cable
The Mini D Ribbon (MDR) cables used between the camera and your frame grabber must comply
with the Camera Link specification. Compliant MDR cable assemblies in several different lengths
are available from Basler as stock items. Contact your Basler sales representative for more
information.
The maximum allowed length for the MDR cable used with a sprint camera is 10 meters.
2.4.2 Power Cable
A Hirose, 6-pin locking plug will be shipped with each camera. This plug should be used to connect
the output cable on your power supply to the camera.
For proper EMI protection, the power supply cable that is terminated with the Hirose connector and
attached to the camera must be a twin-cored, shielded cable. Also, the Hirose plug must be
connected to the cable shield and the shield must be connected to earth ground at the power
supply.
A power supply and cable assembly that meets these requirements is available from Basler.
Contact your Basler sales representative for more information.
An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the Camera’s 6-pin Connector
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 6-pin connector must be
a plug for 6 pins. Using a plug designed for a smaller or a larger number of
pins can damage the pins in the camera’s 6-pin connector.
