Description
The National Instruments SHC68-C68-S Cable is a specialized, shielded cable assembly designed for connecting NI motion controllers like the NI-63xx (X Series) and NI-62xx (M Series) to various compatible devices, such as NI MID-76xx, MCA-7724, UMI-7774, and UMI-7772. This cable features a VHDCI connector and is intended for use in switching and motion applications.
Constructed with a 30 AWG signal and +5 V wires, the cable has an outer diameter of 0.380 in. and a minimum bend radius of 4.6 in., ensuring flexibility and durability in installation. The SHC68-C68-S is available in lengths of 2 meters (part number 186380-02) and 0.5 meters (part number 186380-0R5), catering to different spatial requirements.
Each cable end features a 68-pin VHDCI offset male connector, providing a reliable connection between controllers and motion interfaces. The inclusion of twisted pairs within the cable aids in reducing electrical noise and improving signal integrity. It is important to note that this cable should only be used with DAQ products when it is specifically recommended.
