Base/Medium PoCL Camera Link Cable
Important: This Camera Link cable is built with 5 high-quality pairs dedicated to carry the signals of a single Channel Link. Consequently, this cable cannot be used as the second cable in Full and 80-bit configurations having two Channel Links.
Note: This Camera Link cable supports POCL and non-POCL cameras

Note: (*)The signal and function columns correspond to the cable used in a Base configuration and the first cable of a Medium configuration.
Note: This wiring does not implement a straightforward pin-to-pin connection. However, the pin assignment is such that the cable can be installed in any direction.
Important: Twisted pairs and wires should imperatively be individually shielded.

Full/80-bit PoCL Camera Link Cable
Note: This Camera Link cable is built with 10 high-quality pairs dedicated to carry the signals of two Channel Links. This cable is universal, it can be used not only as the second cable in Full and 80-bit configurations having two Channel Links but also as the first and second cable in any configuration.
Note: This Camera Link cable supports POCL and non-POCL cameras
