FLIR Hadron Cable Info Needed

[Pete]

We are integrating the FLIR Hadron into our VOXL 2-based project. Per your documentation ( FLIR Hadron | ModalAI Technical Docs), integration requires two MCBL-00084-180 micro coax cables.

That said, we need longer cables than the 180mm option of the MCBL-00084, which appears to be the longest cable that Modal is selling.

The datasheet link for the MCBL-00084 contains no pinout or component details unlike other cables you sell.

How can I obtain the pinout/component info so we can build a cable that will fit our requierments?

Thanks in advance for your replies....Cheers

Hi @Pete
If you go longer than 180mm, we can't guarantee your setup with our HW will work.
We have done a lot of analysis on the coax cables, including DC losses per inch, and I am not confident longer cables will work for you without an active repeater for the MIPI lines as well. It's likely you will need to design your own hardware adapters to counteract the extra DC losses and extra MIPI length. In which case, just use whatever coax cables and connectors you wish.
That being said, we explain more about our cables here: https://docs.modalai.com/micro-coax-user-guide/

As I say numerous times to folks on this forum, if you need to go longer than we offer for image sensors, the sUAS airframe design and sensor placement needs to be reconsidered for electrical constraints that cannot be violated. High speed and power cable lengths are not an arbitrary number that can be increased indiscriminately. Proceed at your own risk.

Thanks!
