National Instruments SH68-68-S Multifunction Cable

The National Instruments SH68-68-S (Part Numbers: 185262-05, 185262-02, 185262-01) Multifunction Cable is a shielded 68-pin SCSI-II female-to-female cable intended for connecting compatible multifunction I/O devices to accessories or cables that have SCSI-II connectors. This rugged cable is needed for those customers who work with the earlier generations of NI DAQ hardware, such as USB-62xx, formerly M Series; NI 61xx, formerly S Series; and NI 60xx/60xxE, formerly B Series and E Series. The cable facilitates seamless connectivity, ensuring reliable data transfer and minimizing electromagnetic interference through its advanced shielding design.

The SH68-68-S is a shielded 68-pin 0.050-inch SCSI D-Type to SCSI D-Type cable. These cables are designed to offer high performance in switching and motion applications. Shielding: A thin conductive metallic layer helps protect the cable from external electromagnetic interference and maintains high signal integrity within harsh industrial environments. This cable assembly is special, regarding DAQ, and it should be used only with those compatible models as recommended.

This cable features 28 AWG signal wires along with +5V wires for dependable data and power throughput to and from the connecting devices. The SH68-68-S cable is built for continuous bending cycles and difficult working conditions without losing any performance, thanks to the 0.420 inches outer diameter and 5.1 inches bend radius (10.7/130 mm).

The SH68-68-S Multifunction Cable is an ideal choice for users requiring precise and reliable connectivity between devices. Be it the replacement of existing cables, integration with new systems, or a custom fixture-the compatibility it provides with the DAQ hardware from National Instruments avails optimal signal transmission.

Also, the cable is designed to support configurations that demand high-performance noise reduction and secure connections, making it suitable for both standard and complex applications. Also, it contains technical details such as pin-outs, wire mappings, color codes, wire gauge, and grounding or shielding details in order to meet the requirements of advanced setups.
