The VPC module accessory kit includes a special USB-A (2-headed) to USB-mini B power and serial
communication cable, USB power supply, MCX-to-BNC analog video cable, TEC Power Cover Plate,
module mounting screws, and cover plate mounting screws. This module differs from the standard Tau
(uncooloed) camera VPC modle in that it has an additional VPC-to-TEC cable. Due to the fact that
standard USB ports on computers typically cannot supply enough current to run the TauSWIR camera
and TEC, both USB-A connectors on the USB cable must be plugged into a power source when this
VPC-to-TEC cable is connected to the camera.
