Xinxiwang will explain the types of cable interfaces for industrial cameras

Common types of industrial camera cable interfaces typically include the following:

1. USB interface

USB interface cameras are digital cameras that output digital image signals directly. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and the USB interface is 4 "pins", of which 2 are power cables and 2 are signal cables. USB is a serial interface that is hot-swappable and easy to connect. USB2.0, transmission speed 480Mbps, communication distance 5m, 80% bandwidth for image transmission. USB3.0, transmission speed 4.8Gbps, communication distance 10m, 80% of the bandwidth for image transmission. Due to the easy use and wide range of interfaces, USB interface cameras are widely used in microscopes, scientific research experiments, portable equipment and other industries.

2. IEEE1394---- live wire interface

The 1394 interface, also known as FireWire, is used to connect digital products to computers and other machines. The IEEE1394 bus is a high-speed serial bus with a transmission speed of 400Mbps for the 1394a* high and 800Mbps for the 1394b* high. IEEE1394 supports hot-swapping, real-time data transmission, bus structure, plug-and-play. The 1394 interface is divided into 4 cores and 6 cores, there are two pairs of data cables in the 4 cores, and the 6 cores also include a set of power cables in addition to the data cables to supply power to external equipment. IEEE 1394 interface, no controller is required, peer-to-peer transmission can be realized, 1394a large transmission distance is 4.5 meters, 1394b transmission distance is usually 10 meters, and can be extended to 100 meters (100Mbps) in the case of reduced data rate, and the transmission distance can be further improved by using relay equipment support.

3. Camerlink interface

The digital image signal communication interface protocol launched by the AIA Association is a serial communication protocol. It adopts LVDS interface standard, which has fast speed, strong anti-interference ability and low power consumption. Developed from the Channel link technology, some transmission control signals are added on the basis of the Channel link technology, and some related transmission standards are defined. The protocol adopts MDR-26-pin connector or SDR-26-pin connector, which has the characteristics of high speed, bandwidth up to 6400Mbps, strong anti-interference ability and low power consumption.

4. Gige Gigabit Ethernet interface

Created and promoted by the Automate Imaging Association (AIA), it is a camera interface standard developed based on the Gigabit Ethernet communication protocol. Ideal for industrial imaging applications where uncompressed video signals are transmitted over a network. It is a standard for transmitting images over long distances using inexpensive cables.

5、CoaXPress

CoaXPress is an asymmetrical, high-speed point-to-point serial communication digital interface standard with transmission speeds up to 6.25Gbps and transmission distances of more than 100m. Large data transmission capacity, long transmission distance, you can choose the transmission distance and transmission amount: from 50m@6.25Gbps to 170m@1.25Gbps, low price, easy integration, support hot-swap.

The above introduced content is the common type of industrial camera cable interface. Its different types of industrial camera cables are suitable for different products, and you can choose according to your actual needs when choosing. You can also call the hotline for consultation: 028-62705808
