Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of Gigabit Ethernet cable and USB for industrial cameras

Advantages and disadvantages of Gigabit network cables


1. The working distance required on-site can be within 100m for network cable and within 5m for USB3.0;

2. Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) is characterized by high efficiency, speed, and performance. It is the fastest-growing interface in industrial digital cameras. It is also a universally applicable digital interface. It can almost completely replace the camera interface of analog devices. It has been widely used in machine vision, education, government agencies, factories, and mining enterprises. Gigabit Ethernet has greater technical flexibility in broadband, cable length, and multi-camera functions, simplifying multi-camera systems' settings. It is the best choice for cables with a transmission rate of up to 100MB/s and a length of 100 meters.

3. The stability of network cables is much better than USB

4. The camera is a network cable on the Internet - used for data transmission and communication, but cannot be powered, so another interface is set for power supply.

Advantages of USB Industrial Cameras


1. The USB interface is the most widely used interface globally. Various computers have 2-4 USB interfaces. USB industrial cameras can be directly connected to the USB interfaces of these computers to work stably.

2. the USB interface can also directly power the USB industrial camera, and there is no need to prepare a separate power supply for the camera.
