CoaXPress Machine Vision Cable Assembly for CXP-12 Camera Links
Last updated: 7 September 2026
CoaXPress carries image data, camera control, trigger and power over a single coax run, which is why it displaced Camera Link on high-resolution lines. The coaxpress machine vision cable is the part that decides whether a stated link rate holds at the length the machine actually needs.
Link Rates and Length
Public competitor data for this class quotes 12.5 Gbps per lane at CXP-12 and 6.25 Gbps at CXP-6, with four lanes aggregated to roughly 50 Gbps. The useful number for a machine builder is the length: the same sources quote runs around 8 m at CXP-12 and around 11 m at CXP-6, extending to roughly 20 m with a low-loss construction. All of these come from competitor literature and are recorded below as figures needing confirmation on our own build.
Connector Choices
- DIN 1.0/2.3, the usual choice on frame grabbers and CXP camera bodies.
- BNC, where an existing camera or grabber already carries it.
- Micro-BNC for dense camera heads and multi-lane bundles.
- Right-angle variants where the rear clearance behind the camera is tight.
Power Over The Same Coax
PoCXP lets a single run power the camera as well as talk to it. The power class quoted in competitor material is 13 W or 37 W depending on the camera and the supply unit. Confirm the draw of your camera before ordering; a cable sized for the wrong class will run warm and drop the link.
Flex and Jacket Options
For gantry or robot-mounted heads we supply a high-flex build. Competitor data quotes flex life in the tens of millions of cycles for these constructions, and a jacket diameter in the 3.7 to 4.2 mm band. Flame performance is quoted against the VW-1 method. None of these are published as certified results on this page until the supplier reports are filed.
What We Need To Quote
Tell us the lane count, the target rate, the run length, the connector at each end, whether the run moves, and the camera power class. That is enough for us to price the assembly and to flag which figures still need measurement.
