Camera Cable Failure
-
We had a camera cable fail on us, flown on a VOXL 2 using an imx412 and OV7251 tracking camera. System was working fine until a minor crash, then video signal was lost. Trying to assess the reason why the cable would fail like this, could this be caused by the cable becoming partially unplugged while the aircraft was still powered? Let me know your thoughts. There definitely was not a screw or any other penetrative object that could have punctured the cable causing a short.

Hi @Jeremy-Frederick
This appears to be a fusing open of some (one or more) power signals on the flex, indicating that excessive current was demanded of the flex. A short at the image sensor module of a power rail could cause this, so a loose connector may have certainly been your culprit, and a voltage likely contacted a GND signal or component.
