Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The NB5 is a cabling accessory, not a portable computer or standalone measurement instrument. NI documents its use in the NB5-equipped CB-100 connector-block assembly for bringing external signals to the PC-DIO-96.

For wiring work, consult the board manual together with NI's cable comparison and pinout article. Connector count alone is not sufficient to establish interchangeability with other 100-pin NI cables.

Branches a single 100-pin board connection into two 50-pin cable ends.
The 50-pin branches identify positions 1–50 and 51–100.
The CB-100 installation guide documents centered alignment tabs on the 50-pin connectors.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the NB5 a notebook computer?

No. NI documentation identifies NB5 as a ribbon cable assembly.

Can the NB5 be used with a PCI-DIO-96?

NI specifies NB5 for PC-DIO-96 and PC-DIO-96/PnP, while PCI-DIO-96 uses R1005050. Do not confuse PC-DIO-96 with PCI-DIO-96.

Does this record identify a specific cable length?

No. The supplied catalog record does not identify a length or a length-specific manufacturer part number. Confirm the cable markings before selecting it for an installation.
