Hi all,
We are building multiple vision systems. Each system has a camera with Firewire-b cable and also a Trigger Cable (with 3 conductors).
For our application, we need as few cables as possible. Our users are very concerned about having too many cables.
Does anyone know if I can purchase a firewire-B cable that has trigger lines. Some kind of two-in-one cable?
Our best option right now is to use spiral wrap.

You may be able to have an outfit like Components Express create a custom firewire cable for you, see http://www.ceicables.com/.

Out of curiousity, what is sending the trigger signals and what sort of latency/jitter requirements are acceptable for your application? It is possible you may be able to send the trigger in-band along the FireWire cable if your requirements are loose enough. You may have already considered this and discounted it, but I wanted to check just in case...
