7.1 Cables

Cable Types

3 types of cables are compatible with the OS2 sensors. Their physical characteristics are presented

in the table

Cable Characteristics.

The cable and plug are an element of the sensor ingress protection. Without this, the ingress protec-

tion rating may be compromised. Bending the cable at a sharp angle directly after egress from the

plug over mold should also be avoided. Sharp bends and high axial stresses on the cable immediately

adjacent to the plug over mold may create a moisture ingress path into the connection. Please note

the cable minimum bend radius requirements.

Note: We no longer offer Type 1 cables for sale. Please contact your Ouster sales representative for

questions regarding available cable lengths, connector types, and termination options.

Note: Type 3 Cable has an imprint that states “Type 3” on it whereas, Type 2 does not have any

identifiers.

Note: Ouster recommends using a right angled connector cable for use cases wherein the cable

needs to be bent within the first 5 cm between the connector and the rest of the cable.
