Legacy 20 meter cable

Warning

Since the introduction of Pickit 3.0, this cable is not a supported Pickit product anymore. Refer to this article to learn about the current 20 meter cable solution.

The legacy version of our 20 meter cabling solution has:

• A type A USB plug on the processor side.

• 3 x USB hubs, every 5 meters.

• An 8 pin M12 screwing connector on the Pickit camera side.

This solution suffers from connection failure when it is installed in an environment with a high electromagnetic disturbance. It doesn’t pass the standardized EMI immunity test mentioned in the robot mounting kit article.
