NI groups R6868 variants under the R68F-68F Cable product page, alongside RC68-68 variants with different connector arrangements. Select by the specific part number and device compatibility table, not the grouped family name alone.

Compatibility

NI's 67xx guide lists R6868 variants for 6703, 6704, 6711, 6713, 6731, and 6733 devices. Consult the guide for the corresponding accessory combinations.

Confirm the device-specific cable recommendation and EMC requirements; a matching pin count alone does not establish compatibility.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Which R6868 part numbers identify the documented lengths?

NI lists 182482-01 as 1 m and 182482-0R25 as 0.25 m. The supplied catalog record does not identify which variant this item represents.

Can the R6868 be used with every 68-pin NI DAQ device?

No. Check the device-specific cable table. For example, NI's BNC-2120 installation guide explicitly prohibits R6868 use with NI 6115/6120 devices and specifies SH68-68-EPM instead.
