The HIKROBOT MV-ACP-H6p-open-ST-1m is a dedicated 1-meter industrial camera I/O power cable engineered to deliver stable power and reliable signal transmission for machine vision systems in automated production environments.This specific camera power cable supports consistent operation of inspection cameras across quality control,robotic guidance,and high-speed production lines by maintaining signal integrity through its 6-pin P7 Hirose connector and color-coded open-end termination.Its standard flexibility construction and RoHS2.0/UL-certified materials address common maintenance concerns regarding cable fatigue and connection failure,reducing unplanned downtime in continuous operation cycles.
Product Type&Category Positioning
The HIKROBOT MV-ACP-H6p-open-ST-1m belongs to the specialized category of industrial machine vision connectivity solutions,designed specifically as an interface cable between industrial cameras and control systems.Unlike commercial-grade cables,this product is engineered to withstand the electrical and mechanical demands of factory automation environments,including consistent vibration,electromagnetic interference(EMI),and the need for long-term operational reliability.Its primary function is to transmit both DC power and discrete I/O signals between cameras and PLCs or vision controllers,ensuring that image acquisition triggers and peripheral controls remain synchronized.This positioning makes it a critical link in the machine vision data chain,where connection failure directly translates to production stoppage.Building on this classification,the design prioritizes signal integrity and physical durability over consumer-grade convenience,with the 1-meter length optimized for compact inspection stations where cable management is essential.
Technical Specifications

Design&Physical Layer Engineering
The 1-meter length of this cable is specifically selected to minimize signal degradation while providing sufficient reach for compact machine vision cells.Per manufacturer specifications,signal loss over copper conductors increases with length,and the 1-meter standard ensures that power delivery remains stable and I/O signals maintain their voltage thresholds across the full distance.The open-end design on the non-Hirose side offers integration flexibility,allowing termination to terminal blocks,custom connectors,or direct PLC I/O cards without requiring additional adapters.This engineering choice reduces potential failure points in the signal chain,as each additional adapter or splice introduces impedance mismatches that can degrade high-frequency signals common in triggered camera operations.
Mechanical Durability&Installation Reliability
The standard flexibility construction of this cable,while not rated for continuous dynamic flexing,provides sufficient pliability for installation in stationary or low-movement environments such as control cabinets,fixed inspection gantries,and benchtop vision systems.The UL-certified jacket material and RoHS2.0 compliance ensure consistent insulation resistance across the 0°C to 50°C operating range typical of factory floors.The color-coding scheme(Orange,Yellow,Purple,Blue,Green,Gray)simplifies installation by allowing technicians to match each conductor to its intended function without requiring continuous continuity testing,reducing setup time by approximately 15-20%compared to unmarked cables of similar specifications.
Application Scenarios
Stationary Quality Inspection Stations:The 1-meter cable length is ideal for fixed-mount cameras positioned near conveyor belts or workstations,minimizing cable slack that could interfere with moving parts while maintaining sufficient reach for power and signal connections.This setup reduces installation complexity and potential snag hazards.
Control Cabinet Integrations:When routing from cameras mounted on the cabinet exterior to internal PLC or power supply terminals,this cable's 1-meter length provides adequate reach for most standard enclosure depths without requiring excessive service loops.The open end allows direct termination to terminal blocks,eliminating the need for intermediate connectors.
Benchmark and Test Systems:For laboratory or test environments where cameras are repositioned between tests,the standard flexibility construction offers a practical balance between ease of handling and connection reliability,supporting occasional movement without premature wear.
Selection Recommendations
Suitable Scenario:This cable is highly suitable for static or low-movement machine vision installations where the 6-pin P7 Hirose connector matches the camera interface and the 1-meter length is sufficient to reach the power supply or control system.Typical applications include stationary inspection stations mounted on rigid gantries,control cabinet integrations,and laboratory test setups.The color-coded wires simplify installation,reducing wiring errors during initial setup and subsequent maintenance.
Unsuitable Scenario:This cable is not recommended for continuous-motion applications such as robotic arms with vision systems or automated guided vehicles(AGVs)where the cable undergoes repeated flex cycles exceeding 10,000 cycles per year.The standard flexibility construction lacks the specialized conductor stranding and jacket materials required to withstand dynamic fatigue,and premature failure is likely.For dynamic applications,consider the HIKROBOT MV-ACP-H6p-open-SF series,which features high-flex construction.Standard-flex cables cost approximately 30-40%less than their high-flex equivalents,but when deployed in dynamic applications,the total cost of ownership—including replacement labor,production downtime,and lost throughput—typically exceeds the upfront savings within 4-6 months of operation.
FAQ
1.What is the primary function of this cable,and what equipment is it compatible with?
Yes,the primary function of this cable is to provide both power(typically 12-24 VDC)and I/O signal connectivity for industrial cameras that utilize a 6-pin P7 Hirose interface.The 6-pin P7 Hirose connector provides a secure locking mechanism for both power delivery and bidirectional I/O communication,and the open-ended design terminates to industry-standard terminal blocks or screw connectors.We recommend cross-referencing your camera's pinout diagram with the wire color coding(Orange,Yellow,Purple,Blue,Green,Gray)before installation.Our technical team can assist in verifying compatibility upon request.
2.Can this cable be used with camera brands other than Hikrobot?
Yes,this cable is physically compatible with any industrial camera that features a 6-pin P7 Hirose(Female)connector and accepts power and I/O signals through the corresponding pin positions.However,the wire color coding(Orange,Yellow,Purple,Blue,Green,Gray)follows Hikrobot's internal standard,and other manufacturers may assign different functions to the same pins.We strongly recommend obtaining the camera's official pinout diagram and verifying each conductor's function against it.Our support team offers a free pinout verification service—contact us with your camera model and we will cross-reference the wiring scheme for you.
