Approved Zivid Ethernet Cables
All the cables Zivid supplies are designed for machine vision and robotics applications and tested for twisting, bending, and pull force. We can provide mechanical reliability test reports for all our cables on request.
We offer CAT-6A Ethernet cables in 5m, 10 m and 25 m options. Cables of all lengths come with an RJ45 connector on the PC side and a straight M12 connector on the camera side. We also offer a 3 m long CAT-6A Ethernet cable extender with an angled (90 degrees) connector. The angled M12 connector goes on the camera side and the straight M12 connector on the other side, connecting to the Ethernet cable. To order Zivid cables visit Zivid WebShop.
Tip
The cable extender with angled 90 degree connector fits well with the Zivid On-Arm Mount.
The cable can be connected on the computer side either directly to the network card port or via an adapter or network switch.
Tip
For lengths up to 100 m, use a longer continuous CAT-6A cable or a network switch as an active extender/repeater together with another CAT-6A Ethernet cable.
Caution
We do not recommend using female-to-female or other passive Ethernet extensions.
Zivid strongly recommends that the cables are carefully checked before use or if run time errors occur. It is also strongly recommended to tighten the M12 Jack screw all the way in on the camera side when setting up the camera. The Ethernet connector needs to be screwed in completely to ensure the watertight IP rating of the camera.
Note
Use only Zivid approved Ethernet cables. Ensure that all connections are screwed in tightly.
