MV-CB050-60UC-C-F
Trade-off — needs agreement
The search threshold is met, but this is not a replacement without trade-offs.
Trade-offs to settle before you choose:
  • Connector: FPC (USB3) instead of USB3 TF38 — the system has to be checked.
The sensor part number is not confirmed in this comparison: we compare by resolution, pixel size, frame or line rate and interface.
