11/18/21, 3:37 PM Main Page : DAQ Multifunction I/O Cable Guide - NI NI cables come in a variety of options and functionality. This section briefly explains what some of those acronyms and other terminology means. To learn more about a specific cable, visit the DAQ Cable Guide Page for your cable, or its product page Anatomy of a Model Name Use this section to better understand your NI accessory's model name and numbering. Thank you for your feedback. = SHC - Shielded cables with a "compact" 0.8 mm VHDCI connector on the end that connects to the device or module. = SH - Shielded cables with a SCSI 0.050 D-Type connector, in most cases, on the end that connects to the device or module. Some SH cables instead use D-Sub connectors. = RC - Ribbon (unshielded) cables with a "compact" 0.8 mm VHDCI connector on the end that connects to the device or module. = R- Ribbon (unshielded) cables with a SCSI 0.050 D-Type connector on the end that connects to the device or module._ = DB - Shielded cables with a D-Sub connector on the end that connects to the device or module. Thank you for your feedback. Most cable models will include two numbers, indicating the pin counts of the mating connectors found on each end. = First number - Common DAQ connectors are 37-, 68-, and 100- for 37-pin, 68-pin, and 100-pin connectors, respectively, found on the device end of the cable, = Second Number - = Common DAQ connectors: -37, -68, and -100 for 37-pin, 68-pin, and 100-pin connectors, respectively, found on one the accessory end of the cable. = Conversion Cables - Some connectors have a lower pin count on the accessory end. These conversion cables typically ground some signals, and are used for backwards compatibility between devices/modules and accessories. = VHDCI Accessory Connector - Most VHDCI DAQ cables feature a SCSI connector on the accessory end. However, some special cables such as -C68 use the 'C' to indicate the "Compact" VHDCI connector, and are for use with third party or custom PCB breakouts and terminal blocks. = Right angle connector - For use in enclosures, cables such as '68R1' the 'R’ is used to indicate a right angle connector. = Split Cables - These cables include two extra numbers, such as -68-68 or -50-50, of a lower pin count. These provide convenience in using popular accessories of a different pin count. Thank you for your feedback. = -EPM - The latest generation enhanced performance cable offers an advanced design for superior noise performance and reduced crosstalk.

Shielding Shielded cable assemblies are designed and manufactured to provide maximum performance and noise immunity. This thin layer of metallic shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from other signals on the cable, and also from external noise sources. To achieve this, the entire cable, and sometimes groupings of conductors, are enclosed in shielding NI also sells unshielded ribbon cables for low-cost applications or for environments and applications where noise and crosstalk are not a concern. Twisted Pairs Some twisted pairs are optimized for differential analog input signals through the use of positive (+) and negative (-) signal pairs. Noise or interference will appear on both lines, and thus the common-mode signal can be canceled by the differential ADC. Other pairs may be twisted with a ground wire or drain wire. By adding twisted pairs electromagnetic interference, noise, and crosstalk can be reduced. Shielding with Twisted Pairs Many NI shielded cable assemblies also feature twisted pairs for improved noise performance. Different shielded cables are recommended for different devices and applications, based on signal pairings and groupings, to give the best performance. Troubleshooting Noise or Unexpected Readings https:/www.ni.com/en-gb/support/documentation/supplemental/17/main-page-—-daq-multifunction-i-o-cable-guide. htmi#section--47437 1053 6/10

11/18/21, 3:37 PM Main Page : DAQ Multifunction l/O Cable Guide - NI Are you having trouble getting a good reading or is your system not working as expected? Experiencing noise, interference, unexpected or unwanted readings can originate from many parts of your system. Choosing the proper cable, and ensuring you follow best wiring practices, will help ensure the best reading. = Choosing the correct DAQ cable for your application is very important. For any environment susceptible to external noise and interference, NI recommends the use of a shielded cable. Signal integrity from both external interference and internal to the cable can also be affected by the specific wiring pairings and groupings. While many NI cables share the same connectors and pin mappings, internally the cables may be laid out very differently. Ni has carefully chosen cable recommendations for each device or module based on expected signals to be carried on each line. = Ensure that your device or module, cable, and accessory do not have any bent pins and that the cable is fully seated and secured using the jackscrews or latches. Models featuring SCSI 0.050 D-Type connectors are most susceptible to bent pins, while VHDCI and D-Sub are designed for more frequent plugging and unplugging. = Choosing the optimal measurement grounded, ungrounded, referenced, nonreferenced, floating or differential analog measurement type is critical to signal integrity. Further, ensuring grounding and bias resistors are properly applied to certain measurement types is critical, and failure to do so will result in erratic or saturated readings. See our field wiring guide for more information. Calculating Bend Radius When mounting in a rack or enclosure or otherwise routing your cable, it is important to know how much you can bend the cable without damaging it. National Instruments follows 2014 NEC Section 300.34 Conductor Bend Radius and 300.24 Bending Radius standards to define the bend radius for cables. Many DAQ Multifunction I/O cables are assembled as multi-conductor cables with individually shielded conductors. Per these standards, the bend radius is then defined as 12 times the cable diameter. Cable diameter is specified in the dimensional drawings for the cable, and is also listed on the cable guide page for your cable. Use the major diameter specification for the calculation. For example, the SHC-68-68-EPM cables may specify a different bend radius, due to their construction. NI DAQ Cables Connectivity and Features The following table lists the most popular NI DAQ cables, and provides links to their Cable Guide page, if available. Use this table as a starting point when selecting or picking cable options for your application. General compatibility with NI DAQ devices, modules, and cables are listed on each Cable Guide page, but a more extensive list can be found in the Multifunction DAQ I/O Compatibility guide. https:/www.ni.com/en-gb/support/documentation/supplemental/17/main-page-—-daq-multifunction-i-o-cable-guide. htmi#section--47437 1053 7/0
