ASI/LVDS Data Interface MN/SDM2020D.IOM

13.1.3 Interface Specifications
A 75Ω coaxial cable (Belden 8281 or equivalent) is recommended for all ASI connectors.
Typical Coaxial cable length is up to 70 meters (230 feet) with good quality coaxial
cable. Typical attenuation of up to 8dB at 270 MHz is permitted. The following cables, or
an equivalent computer grade cable incorporating twisted, shielded pairs, are
recommended for the LVDS interface:
• Belden type LV Computer M9768
• Belden 8175
The Belden 8175 has a lower capacitance, however, it has a larger diameter and requires
the selection of an appropriate connector shell. The typical cable length for the
serial/parallel interfaces is ≤ 5 meters (16.405 feet).
Table 13-1 describes the interface specifications.
