Basler aviator Camera Link 21

2.4.2 Standard I/O Cable

The end of the I/O cable that connects to the camera’s 12-pin connector must be terminated with a

Hirose micro plug (part number HR10A-10P-12S) or the equivalent. The cable must be wired as

shown in Figure 7.

The maximum length of the I/O cable is 10 meters, however, we strongly recommend keeping I/O

cables as short as possible. The cable must be shielded and close proximity to strong magnetic

fields should be avoided.

The required 12-pin Hirose plug is available from Basler. Basler also offers an I/O 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 I/O cables.

Fig. 8: Standard I/O Cable

The standard I/O cable is intended for use if the camera I/O is not connected to a

PLC device. If the camera I/O is connected to a PLC device, we recommend using

a PLC I/O cable rather than the standard I/O cable.

See the next section for more information about PLC I/O cables.

NOTICE

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 female 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.
