The following tables describes the cables (additional to those listed in [Basic Vicon Valkyrie system cables](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Valkyrie/pages/1768832)) for connecting hardware components in a mixed Valkyrie system that includes older Vicon cameras (Vantage, Vero or Viper) as well as Valkyrie cameras. Use this information to identify the correct cables and connection points to use when setting up a mixed Valkyrie system.

Note that these topics do not describe all the cables supplied with Vantage systems; it is assumed that any Vantage system cameras and switches are already connected with the originally supplied cables. For descriptions and uses of Vantage cables, see the documentation for your Vicon Vantage system.

> 
> If your mixed system includes a data switch and a Lock, use this this cable and transceiver to connect the Lock power switch to the data switch (Ethernet to SFP+).  For information on transceivers, see [SFP+ transceivers for Valkyrie systems](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Connect/pages/1620789).
