Cables#
Basler offers high-quality cables and plugs that are specifically designed for connecting Basler interface cards and cameras. To ensure the functionality of your camera, Basler recommends to always use cables of the Basler portfolio for your USB cameras.
Info
In the Basler USB Interface Card, 4HC, 5G, 8 Port two cables of type Basler Cable USB 3, Micro B sl/A, P, 8 m don't fit into adjacent ports since the cable insulation is too thick for the space available per port slot. Use another Basler USB cable instead, e.g., the Basler Cable USB 3.0, Micro B sl/A, P, 5 m or the Basler Cable USB 3.0, Micro B sl/A, P, 3 m.
