*1 The FH-S[][][] enables switching between standard and high speed modes. In high speed mode, images can be
transferred approximately two times faster than in standard mode, but the connectable cable length will be shorter.
*2 The FH-S[][][] has two channels to connect Camera Cables. Connection to two channels makes image transfer two
times faster than connection to one channel: high speed mode using two channels can transfer approximately four
times as many images as standard mode using one channel.
*3 Each channel can be used to connect up to two Cable Extension Units: up to four extension units, two channels x two
units, can be connected by using two channels.

Connection Configuration

*4 Select the Camera Cables between the Controller and Extension Unit, between the Extension Units, and between the
Extension Unit and Camera according to the connected Camera.
Different types or lengths of Camera Cables can be used for (1), (2), and (3) as well as for (4), (5), and (6). However,
the type and length of Camera Cable (1) must be the same as those of Camera Cable (4), (2) must be the same as
(5), and (3) must be the same as (6).

Parallel Converter Cable

When you change to connect the F series, FZ5 series, or FZ5-L series to FH series Sensor Controller,
you can convert by using the appropriate parallel converter cable of FH-VPX series under the usable condition.

Applicable Model		Usable Condition	Model
FZ[] series		• Do not use RESET signal. * • Use with COMIN and COMUT are same power source.	FH-VPX-FZ
FZ[]-L35x series		• Do not use RESET signal. *	FH-VPX-FZL
F160 series	F160-C10	• Do not use RESET signal. * • Use with COMIN and COMOUT are same power source. • Do not use DI5 and DI6.	FH-VPX-F160
F210 series	F210-C10	• Do not use RESET signal. * • Use with COMIN and COMOUT are same power source. • Do not use DI8 and DI9.	FH-VPX-F210
F210 series	F210-C10-ETN
F500 series	F500-C10

* Even if RESET signal cannot be use by conversion, conversion is possible to convert satisfying other usable condition.
Note: Cannot be used for the F160-C10CP/-C10CF.

Recommended EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP Communications Cables

Use Straight STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher with double shielding (braiding and aluminum foil tape) for EtherCAT.
Use Straight or cross STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher for EtherNet/IP.
