Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

Within NI DAQ systems, the VHDCI end connects to the device or module, while the .050 D-Type end connects to the accessory. Connector matching alone does not establish device compatibility; use the relevant NI cable and accessory table.

The SH68-C68-S provides a cable connection between compatible NI hardware and external terminal or connector accessories. NI's connector guide identifies the VHDCI end as the device or module connection and the 0.050 D-Type end as the accessory connection.

NI lists this cable for 6722 and 6723 analog output hardware. Accessory selection depends on the specific device connector: the 6723 connector 0 and connector 1 tables do not list identical accessory options.

  • Connects two different 68-position connector formats: VHDCI and .050 D-Type.
  • Classified by NI as a basic-shielding, special-purpose cable.
  • Listed as a recommended shielded cable for specified NI 6722 and 6723 connections.
  • Connects 68-pin VHDCI hardware interfaces to 68-pin 0.050 Series D-Type accessories.
  • Shielded construction with twisted wire pairs.
  • Documented in NI's model-specific analog output cable and accessory guide.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Which cable length does this catalog record represent?

The supplied record identifies only SH68-C68-S. NI documents 0.5 m, 1 m, and 2 m variants, so the exact part number must be confirmed before selecting a length.

Can an existing SH68-C68-S cable be retained when moving from PXI-6723 to PXIe-6738 or PXIe-6739?

NI states that the cable can be retained when the corresponding NI-6738 or NI-6739 adapter is used. The adapter accommodates the different module pinout.

What connectors does the SH68-C68-S use?

It uses a 68-pin VHDCI device-side connector and a 68-pin 0.050 Series D-Type accessory-side connector.

Which cable length does this catalog record identify?

The record specifies only the model. NI documents 0.5 m, 1 m, and 2 m variants under part numbers 186381-0R5, 186381-01, and 186381-02 respectively. Confirm the part number to establish length.

Is SH68-C68-S the same connector arrangement as SHC68-C68-S?

No. NI's cable guide lists SH68-C68-S with SCSI/D-Type and VHDCI ends, while SHC68-C68-S has VHDCI connections at both ends.
