Single-cable technology for data and power
07 May 2026
ROSENBERGER is expanding its portfolio with HySpeedVision (HYV), a hybrid connector solution for machine vision systems in automation and robotics. The system combines power and data transmission in a single interface and is available as a PCB connector and as a cable assembly. Typical application areas for the hybrid connection solution include robotics, automation, quality control, safety, and medical technology.

At the heart of this approach is the consistent reduction of interfaces. Instead of separate cables for power supply and data transmission, HySpeedVision enables a single-cable solution. This reduces cabling effort, saves space, simplifies integration, and simultaneously increases system reliability, especially in dynamic applications.
HySpeedVision supports serial high-speed protocols such as GMSL (versions 1–3), FPD-Link, APIX, ASA Motion Link, and USB. Additional protocols can be implemented upon request. With GMSL3, data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps are achieved over distances of up to 12 m. Unlike Ethernet-based solutions, these technologies utilize deterministic point-to-point connections that ensure minimal latency and high process reliability. These characteristics are particularly relevant for applications in which image data is used directly to control machines and robots.
Mechanical resilience plays a central role, particularly in industrial robotics and moving systems. HySpeedVision is designed for use under demanding conditions and meets requirements such as drag chain compatibility and torsional strength. The system complies with the M12 standard per EN 61076-2-010, achieves IP67 protection, and is specified for a temperature range of –20 °C to +70 °C. The shielded version, with a frequency range from DC to 3.5 GHz, ensures electromagnetic compatibility even in environments with high levels of interference. Four power pins transmit up to 1.5 A at 24 V; two signal pins are provided for data transmission.
