Question
Is there a Camera Cable for F150-VS Vision Sensor that can withstand bending?
Answer
The F150-VSB is robust against bending. The Cable comes in lengths of 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m. Specify the cable length required when placing an order. (e.g., F150-VSB 10 m)
The following data is given for reference. The number of times the Cable can be bent before causing failure depends on the conditions of usage and the environment. The following values are statistical characteristics. They are not guaranteed values.
