Required Cables

For Trackman setups, we require the use of a USB 3.0 cable up to 15 m length, like shown in the images below.  Trackman only supports USB Swing cameras when they are connected using the required cables.

Our USB camera systems operate up to 15 meters, which is 5 times the standard USB 3.0 cable length limit. Through extensive testing, we've identified specific cables with enhanced shielding, superior conductors, and precise impedance control that can reliably support video transmission at this distance.

Other standard USB 3.0 cables (even those marketed as 'high quality') have failed the previously mentioned testing.

Why the Cables are Required

Using alternative cables introduces risk that can result in production delays and difficult-to-diagnose issues. While we understand the desire to use existing infrastructure, cable quality is fundamental to system reliability in this application. Potential issues when using non-approved cables:

• Unstable or inconsistent camera performance
• Connection dropouts
• Image quality issues
• Power-related problems
• Cameras not being detected correctly by the system

Because of this, Trackman cannot guarantee functionality or provide troubleshooting support when non-required cables are used.
