Light Sync Cables#

Basler Light Sync Cables enable precise triggering and synchronization between a camera and an external illumination, e.g., a Basler Light.

The Basler Light Sync Cables are designed for the Basler lights with intelligent light control (ILC) and are available in different lengths and variants. For general information about legacy Basler Lights and new Basler Lights, see the Illumination topic.
