Cable schematic for D100D100

[Brian@Channel]

I need to build a custom LVDS cable between the 1424 image acq. card and the SCB-100. The cable provided is called the D100D100. The cabling is a "straight thru" pinout, but I need to know what the connectors are in order to specify and purchase a 35 foot cable.

I would probably just buy three 4m extension cables and put them all together. Your cost would be under $500, and it is probably much easier than building a custom cable. Don't forget to include the cost of your time when you calculate the cost of a custom cable.

You might want to double check to see if a 35 foot cable exceeds the length limit for the signals you will be transmitting.

Thank you for your feedback, Bruce. The extension cables have pin connectors at each end and therefore don't cable together. I am also concerned about the signal degradation of having 6 connectors in the cable. The 35 feet does marginally exceed the spec for LVDS, but it is currently working in another application. I have a quote for $350 from a cable maker to build the cable for me.
