Reliable solution to USB connection of D4 Camera System
Hi,
The USB interface of the camera system is great for plug-and-play, but I need to deploy the entire assembly (the camera mounted on the robot) outdoors and in a rugged terrain. So, this leads to several USB connections getting disconnected and everything going down.
How is this camera usable for such environments ?
Is there a way to make the connections stable if I wish to use it for production-level products ? (P.S. Hot glue is not for marketable solutions...)

Hi Prashantdandriyal7 You can purchase USB cables with screw-locks on the connectors to secure them in the USB port. On the side of the camera there are two small holes either side of the micro USB port for such a screw-lock connector. An advantage of these in applications where the camera is experiencing motion or vibration is that they can keep the cable firmly plugged in and prevent it from working its way out of the port during motion / vibration and causing a disconnection
The data sheet document for the 400 Series cameras officially recommends Newnex as a supply source for USB-C cables for RealSense cameras. Newnex can supply industrial grade USB equipment and have screw-lock cables in their range.

That is just awesome :)
Thank Your So much MartyX Grover -
Hi again Prashantdandriyal7 I just wanted to add that in the rugged environment that you are using the camera in, you may be able to reduce vibration experienced by the camera by adding vibration damper pads to the point where the camera is mounted on the robot. Google for vibration suppression pad to see the products available.
