Physical InterfaceBasler pioneer 1059.4 Cabling Requirements9.4.1 Ethernet CablesUse high-quality Ethernet cables. To avoid EMI, the cables must be shielded. Use of category 6 orcategory 7 cables with S/STP shielding is strongly recommended. As a general rule, applicationswith 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 cameradirectly to the PC or to a network switch.9.4.2 Power and I/O CableA single cable is used to connect power to the camera and to connect to the camera’s I/O lines asshown in Figure 26.The end of the power and I/O cable that connects to the camera must be terminated with a Hirosemicro plug (part number HR10A-10P-12S) or the equivalent. The cable must be wired to conformwith the pin assignments shown in the pin assignment tables.The maximum length of the power and I/O cable is at least 10 meters. The cable must be shieldedand must be constructed with twisted pair wire. Use of twisted pair wire is essential to ensure thatinput signals are correctly received.Close proximity to strong magnetic fields should be avoided.The required 12-pin Hirose plug is available from Basler. Basler also offers a cable assembly thatis terminated with a 12-pin Hirose plug on one end and unterminated on the other. Contact yourBasler sales representative to order connectors or cables.An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the 12-pin ConnectorThe plug on the cable that you attach to the camera’s 12-pin connector musthave 12 pins. Use of a smaller plug, such as one with 10 pins or 8 pins, candamage the pins in the camera’s 12-pin connector.CAUTION
