The Measurement Computing C100FF-5 is a 5-foot unshielded ribbon cable that connects 100-pin header connectors on Measurement Computing data acquisition boards to 50-pin IDC connectors on peripheral devices and terminal boards. The cable uses standard Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) for secure, direct signal transmission without additional termination hardware.
Technical Specifications
• Length: 5 feet
• Cable Type: Unshielded ribbon cable
• Connector Type: IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector)
• Configuration: 100-pin header to dual 50-pin IDC connectors
• TTL Compatible: Digital I/O operates at TTL logic levels – Key Features • Straightforward point-to-point interconnection between data acquisition boards and external equipment
• IDC connectors eliminate the need for soldering or crimping
• Unshielded design suitable for short-run, noise-tolerant applications
• Direct compatibility with standard Measurement Computing peripheral interfaces – Typical Applications The C100FF-5 serves systems requiring analog output distribution and digital I/O expansion. Common use cases include connecting the PCI-DDA04/12 (featuring four 12-bit analog output channels and 48-bit digital I/O) or PCI-DUAL-AC5 boards to external signal conditioning, relay modules, or sensor interfaces via compatible terminal boards. – Compatibility & Integration • Primary Data Acquisition Boards: Measurement Computing PCI-DDA04/12, PCI-DUAL-AC5
• Compatible Peripheral Devices: CIO-MINI50, SCB-50, CIO-TERM100
• General Use: Any Measurement Computing device with 100-pin header connectors requiring 50-pin IDC signal distribution The cable integrates with boards supporting TTL-level digital I/O (64 mA sink, 15 mA source capability) and analog output ranges from ±10 V to 0–2.5 V. Installation requires no configuration – simply mate IDC connectors to the corresponding headers on data acquisition and peripheral boards.
