LS Lidar Metal Ethernet Plug #269

Can dangerously spark.

mjstn commented 2 years ago

The ethernet cable connector for the Lidar has a large metal covering that is ground. We plug this cable into our cpu in a very tight area where it is very easy to take out the cable or be putting it into the cpu and it can slip from a persons fingers and fall onto our main controller board where there are many different live voltages.

If this cable were a typical plastic ended ethernet cable the risk of shorting out and causing damage would be greatly reduced.

Here is the cable connector LidarEnetCableWithExposedGround
