Basler blaze GigE Cable: RJ45 Connector Pinout#
Assume you are using the Basler blaze camera and want to design your own GigE cable.
Basler offers two different GigE cables suitable for the blaze camera: 2 m and 10 m.
The related CAD files show the pin position on the host RJ45 connector:
However, the wiring is not detailed. It should be as follows:
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BI_DA+ | Bi-directional pair A + |
| 2 | BI_DA- | Bi-directional pair A - |
| 3 | BI_DB+ | Bi-directional pair B + |
| 4 | BI_DC+ | Bi-directional pair C + |
| 5 | BI_DC- | Bi-directional pair C - |
| 6 | BI_DB- | Bi-directional pair B - |
| 7 | BI_DD+ | Bi-directional pair D + |
| 8 | BI_DD- | Bi-directional pair D - |
If the pairs C and D are not connected or punched properly, then the bandwidth falls back to 100 Mbps (100Base-T).
1000Base-T (corresponding to GigE bandwidth) requires all four pairs to be present.
The pinout provided in the blaze-101 camera documentation refers to the M12 8-pin ethernet connector on the camera side.
