5.4 Camera Cabling Requirements
5.4.1 Ethernet Cables
Use high-quality Ethernet cables. To avoid EMI, the cables must be shielded. Use of category 6 or
category 7 cables with S/STP shielding is strongly recommended. As a general rule, applications
with longer cables or applications in harsh EMI conditions require higher category cables.
Either a straight-through (patch) or a cross-over Ethernet cable can be used to connect the camera
directly to a GigE network adapter in a PC or to a GigE network switch.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
5.4.2 Standard Power and I/O Cable
A single "standard power and I/O cable" is used to supply power to the camera and to connect to
the camera’s I/O lines as shown in Figure 33. If you are supplying power to the camera via Power
over Ethernet, the cable still can be used to connect to the I/O lines.
The end of the standard power and I/O cable that connects to the camera must be terminated with
a Hirose micro plug (part number HR10A-7P-6S) or the equivalent. The cable must be wired to
conform with the pin assignments shown in the pin assignment table.
The maximum length of the standard power and I/O cable is at least 10 meters. The cable must be
shielded and must be constructed with twisted pair wire. Use of twisted pair wire is essential to
ensure that input signals are correctly received.
Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.
The standard power and I/O cable is intended for use, if the camera is not
connected to a PLC device. If the camera is connected to a PLC device, we
recommend using a PLC power and I/O cable rather than the standard power and
I/O cable.
If power for the I/O input is supplied at 24 VDC, you can use a PLC power and
I/O cable when the camera is not connected to a PLC device.
See the following section for more information about PLC power and I/O cables.
We recommend that you supply power to the camera either via the camera’s RJ-
45 jack or via the camera’s 6-pin connector.
