Interface Cables

To purchase a recommended cable from Teledyne FLIR, visit the Products Accessories page.

Category 5e or 6 cables up to 100 meters in length should be used for connecting the camera to the network interface card on the host system. Teledyne FLIR sells a 5-meter Category 5e cable for this purpose.

Note: For optimal ESD protection, we recommend using a shielded Ethernet cable or connecting the camera housing to chassis ground (earth).

The USB3 standard does not specify a maximum cable length. FLIR sells a number of cable options. Visit the Product Accessories page for more information.

Note: A 5-meter USB3 cable (or longer) is not recommended for laptops or on board controllers.
