MarineSitu C3 Stereo Camera upgrade to 1Gbit

Hello. The MarineSitu C3 Stereo Camera interface specification is 1000BASE-T Ethernet, but the connector is 4-position JST GH. How can I get 1Gbit from only 4 wires? I plan to use a BotBlox Gigabit switch.

Thank you,

Juan

Hi @jov-

Welcome to the forums!

You’re correct, 1 Gbit data rate typically requires 4 twisted pairs, not the two broken out from the device. Because the Blue Robotics ethernet switch does not support Gigabit, the unit uses only two twisted pairs. If your application requires more data out of the camera, it may require modifying the cable connection - I’d recommend reaching out to the vendor, Marine Situ, to discuss! In the meantime, we’ll update the technical specs to reflect the limitation - thanks for catching that!
