USB 3.2 Gen 2 Cables: A New Trend for High-Speed Transmission in Machine Vision
In the industrial automation development trend, various machine vision applications are driving the rapid advancement of related technologies. Consequently, the demand for real-time transmission of high-resolution image data in machine vision systems necessitates transmission interfaces with higher bandwidth, lower latency, and stronger anti-interference capabilities. These requirements have given rise to the USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transmission standard, which is gradually being adopted by the machine vision industry as a next-generation industrial camera solution.
Advantages of USB 3.2 Gen 2 in Machine Vision Applications
Machine vision technology finds widespread application in various automated production lines, quality inspection, smart agriculture and fisheries, intelligent surveillance, and other fields. These applications have relatively high demands regarding image resolution, processing speed, and multi-device collaboration. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard provides a high-speed dual-lane 20 Gbps transmission, enhancing the system's ability to handle large amounts of real-time image data and offering an excellent solution for vision systems requiring high-resolution imaging.
1. High Bandwidth Support
Compared to the Gen 1 version, USB 3.2 Gen 2 offers a significant bandwidth increase, enabling high-speed transmission of higher resolution or high frame rate image data.
2. Lower Latency
In real-time detection, object recognition, or automatic control scenarios and reaction processes within machine vision systems, USB 3.2 Gen 2 allows data to be quickly and accurately transmitted from the camera to the processing unit, achieving real-time processing and rapid response.
3. Backward Compatibility
USB 3.2 Gen 2 is compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, providing significant convenience for collaborating with different devices within a system.
4. Multi-Camera Collaborative Systems
As the integration capabilities of machine vision systems improve, the need for multi-camera collaboration has become commonplace. USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables can support multi-channel data transmission, ensuring that data from multiple cameras can be transmitted synchronously and processed accurately. This makes it a key factor in optimizing the performance of technologies such as 3D imaging, stereo vision, autonomous driving, and automated inspection systems.
COMOSS offers high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables & customized services through rigorous manufacturing processes
In the design and manufacturing of USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables, COMOSS combines extensive technical expertise with strict control over material selection and every production process. This ensures the quality of its products for applications in the professional machine vision field and has assisted customers in applications such as high-resolution industrial cameras and machine vision inspection systems.
1. High-Quality Materials and Precision Manufacturing
COMOSS selects high-quality, uniformly plated copper conductors, low-loss insulation materials, and employs precision insulation extrusion processes to minimize copper conductor self-loss and insulator dielectric loss during high-speed data transmission. Combined with human-machine collaborative automated production, manufacturing tolerances are reduced, interface impedance is optimized, and signal transmission energy reflection is minimized. Furthermore, optimizations in materials and processing techniques effectively reduce various signal losses, enhancing overall signal integrity.
2. Anti-Interference Performance
In industrial environments, machine vision systems face strong electromagnetic interference and environmental noise. COMOSS USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables utilize high-density braiding and dual-layer shielding, incorporate metal shielding design in cable assembly areas, and feature robust and reliable shield bonding (as shown below). This effectively prevents external interference from impacting signal quality, ensuring stable data transmission even in harsh environments.
3. Durability and Flexibility
The outer jacket of COMOSS USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables is made of highly wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making them suitable for various demanding industrial environments. Meanwhile, the conductors use soft copper strands to enhance the cable's flexibility while maintaining excellent electrical properties. This allows them to easily adapt to the installation requirements of different equipment and support prolonged high-frequency use. In addition to selecting high-quality materials, a good wire conductor structure (as shown below) is also an important factor affecting the durability and flexibility of the cable.
