Size the whole 10 Gbit/s path
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet link offers ten times the nominal bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet while keeping network cabling and long cable runs. The camera is only one end of the path: the network adapter, the cable category, any switch and the computer storage or processing all have to keep up with the stream.
- Check whether the selected model has an RJ45 (10GBASE-T) or an SFP+ port and choose the adapter, cable or optical module to match. Copper 10GBASE-T needs Cat 6a cable for a full 100 m run.
- Calculate the stream from resolution, frame rate and bit depth, and confirm the computer can receive and process it; a fast link moves the bottleneck to memory, disk or the image processing.
- Allow for the camera power draw and heat. High-speed interface cameras usually run warmer; follow the model data for supply, mounting surface and ambient temperature.
