Northwire has added the Endurance line of cable assemblies for vision system applications to NorthwireDirect, its e-commerce website for ordering off-the-shelf, factory-direct cable, cable assemblies and connectors.
Northwire's MVC 1394b FireWire, DataCell GEV-1000 Gigabit Ethernet, CCXC Analog, and Camera Link cables have undergone rigorous testing for flex life and durability, proven by the Northwire Standardized Flex Testing Protocol (NSFTP).
Northwire has introduced the Endurance, a cable assembly product line including cable assemblies for vision system applications. Endurance cable assemblies are engineered with top-quality connectors and Northwire's advanced, industrial-grade cables.
Northwire's high-flex-life MVC-800 FireWire cable for industrial environments is offered in two versions: standard length, 4.5m (14.8ft) or extended distance, up to 7m (23ft).
Northwire has launched a line of cable for Camera Link applications. In testing for flexion, Northwire’s standard Camera Link cable passes 17 million cycles.
