Ethernet Cable

Connect the Ethernet cable for the Ethernet HUB or Robot Controller to the Ethernet connector.

  • Use Category 5e (with a shield) for the Ethernet cable.
  • Install the cable so as not to apply load on the Ethernet connector.
  • Put the Ethernet cable as far from the surrounding noise as possible.

KEY POINTS


  • You can use the general Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch for connection. However, be sure to use products complying with the industrial standards or noise resistant Ethernet cable (STP cable). If you use office use products or UTP cable, it may cause communication error and may not offer the proper performance.
  • For connection of the GigE camera and PC, PoE injector, PoE switching hub, use the dedicated camera cable. You can use the product which supports Gigabit Ethernet (compliant with 1000BASE-T) for the Ethernet hub and Ethernet switch. When supplying power to the GigE camera via an Ethernet cable, use a product compliant with IEEE802.3af.
  • When connecting two or more cameras with the PoE switch, do not capture images simultaneously. If taking images simultaneously, an image defect may occur.
  • When using two or more cameras, connecting them with peer-to-peer connection (connect cameras to different NICs) is recommended.
