Leopard Imaging is a global leader in embedded intelligent vision system design and manufacturing, offering state-of-the-art, AI-based cameras for global companies for 16 years. Over the years, its excellence in building artificially intelligent and robust camera solutions has earned Leopard Imaging many certifications, like those for automotive-grade camera manufacturing and aviation-grade camera development. 

Leopard Imaging’s cameras address the requirement for high-speed and high-image quality, including solutions with the highest dynamic range vision. They have been adopted for a wide variety of applications, from autonomous vehicles, smart agricultural machinery and cashier-less carts to smart streetlights, robotics and drones. The company is known for camera modules that offer excellent image quality, high frame rates, and the latest image sensor technology.

When Leopard Imaging engineers were searching for the right connectors for their MIPI and USB 3.0 MIPI camera modules, they needed high speed, high bandwidth, excellent signal integrity, high density, small form factor, highly flexible cable, and cost effective components. Since 2017, I-PEX's CABLINE® micro-coaxial connectors have been successfully designed into many Leopard Imaging camera module models, as they address the aforementioned requirements. Leopard Imaging has continued working with I-PEX, not only due to product performance, but the strong technical support they receive and the value realized.
