01 / CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS
Select a configuration from the application boundaries
These configurations establish a practical discussion starting point. The final product requires a controlled specification based on interface, length, installation and validation conditions.
Machine-vision flat cable
Integrates CoaXPress or other camera-signal units while preserving geometry through repeated travel.
Data-and-power hybrid flat cable
Combines FireWire, control or low-voltage power units to reduce cable count on moving stages.
Match a solution direction to the link target
Solution codes support early technical discussions by aligning protocol, construction, link boundaries and application in one view.
