© National Instruments | 2-5M Series User Manual68-Pin CablesCabling options differ between the 68-pin PCI/PCI Express/PXI/PXI Express devices andmodules and USB Mass Termination devices.PCI/PCI Express/PXI/PXI Express Device/Module 68-Pin CablesYou can use the following cables with PCI, PCI Express, PXI, and PXI Express M Series devicesand modules:• SHC68-68-EPM1—(Recommended) High-performance shielded cable designed forM/X Series devices. It has individual bundles separating analog and digital signals. Eachdifferential analog input channel is routed on an individually shielded twisted pair of wires.Analog outputs are also individually shielded.• SHC68-68—(Recommended) Lower-cost shielded cable with 34 twisted pairs of wire. Thecable is recommended for PCI/PXI-6225/6255 Connector 1.Note You must use the SHC68-68 cable on Connector 1 of PCI/PXI-6225/6255devices and modules. The SHC68-68-EPM cable can be used on Connector 0 of allM Series PCI, PCI Express, PXI, and PXI Express devices and modules, and onConnector 1 of NI PCI/PCIe/PXI/PXI-6224/6229/6254/6259/6284/6289 devices andmodules.• RC68-68—Highly-flexible unshielded ribbon cable.USB Mass Termination Device 68-Pin CablesYou can use the following cables with USB devices with mass termination connectors:• SH68-68-EPM2—(Recommended) High-performance cable with individual bundlesseparating analog and digital signals. Each differential analog input channel is routed on anindividually shielded twisted pair of wires. Analog outputs are also individually shielded.• SH68-68-S—(Recommended) Shielded cable with 34 twisted pairs of wire. Eachdifferential analog input channel on Connector 1 is routed on a twisted pair on theSH68-68-S cable. The cable is recommended for USB-6225/6255 Mass TerminationConnector 1.Note You must use the SH68-68-S cable on Connector 1 of USB-6225/6255Mass Termination devices. The SH68-68-EPM cable can be used on Connector 0 ofall M Series USB Mass Termination devices, and on Connector 1 ofUSB-6229/6259/6289 devices and modules.• R68-68—Highly-flexible unshielded ribbon cable.1 NI recommends that you use the SHC68-68-EPM cable; however, an SHC68-68-EP cable works withPCI/PCI Express/PXI/PXI Express devices and modules.2 NI recommends that you use the SH68-68-EPM cable; however, an SH68-68-EP cable will work withUSB Mass Termination devices.Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
