Gigabit Ethernet port
Prosilica GT is powered through the 12-pin Hirose I/O port, or the Gigabit Ethernet
port by using any standard PoE supported NIC, switch, or injector. We recommend
using CAT6 or higher compatible cabling for best performance.
Cable lengths up to 100 meters are supported. The 8-pin RJ45 jack has the pin
assignment according to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T Ethernet standard.
Prosilica GT cameras support cables with horizontal locking screw connector for a
secured connection.
We recommend using locking-screw cables from Components Express, Inc. for a
perfect fit. Go to
to customize the cable according to your
needs.
