CAUTION:  
  • The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the In-Sight 8405 vision system, Cognex strongly recommends Cat 6 or Cat 7 Ethernet cables with S/STP shielding.
  • The Ethernet cable shield must be grounded at the far end. If using a PoE injector, a ground wire should be connected from the Ethernet shield at the PoE injector to frame ground or Earth ground, and a digital voltmeter used to validate the grounding. If using a PoE switch, it should have a metal case, with the case grounded to frame ground or Earth ground.
