Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The RC68-68 provides a ribbon-cable connection between supported NI DAQ hardware and external accessories. Its device end uses VHDCI, while its accessory end uses the 68-position 0.050-inch D-Type connector that NI also describes as SCSI.

NI describes the RC68-68 as highly flexible. Because it is unshielded, review the connected device's electromagnetic compatibility requirements before selecting it for an installation.

68-pin connectors at both ends, with different device-side and accessory-side connector formats.
Highly flexible unshielded ribbon construction.
No twisted-pair conductors.

Unshielded VHDCI-to-SCSI ribbon cable

Compatibility

NI explicitly lists the RC68-68 for the DAQCard-6024E connection to 68-pin accessories. This does not imply compatibility with PCI-6024E, which uses a different cable connector format.

Confirm the exact device, accessory, and cable length. An unshielded cable may not meet the connected device's EMC installation requirements.
