The Measurement Computing / IOtech C100HD50-6 is a cable assembly that interfaces data acquisition systems with external devices and instrumentation. It terminates a 100-pin male high-density connector on one end and splits into two 50-pin female header ribbon cables on the other, enabling organized signal routing between compatible DAQ boards and breakout systems. The 6-foot unshielded round cable construction supports analog inputs, digital I/O, counter signals, and DAC outputs across distributed external connections.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Configuration: 100-pin male high-density (primary) to (2) 50-pin female header ribbon cables (secondary)
• Cable Type: Unshielded round cable
• Cable Length: 6 feet
• Manufacturer: Measurement Computing / IOtech
• Model: C100HD50-6
– Key Features
• Supports up to 16 analog inputs at 16-bit resolution, individually configurable as single-ended or differential
• Analog input ranges: ±10V, ±5V, ±500mV, and ±50mV (software-selectable bipolar)
• Provides access to 82C54 counter chip signals with three 16-bit counters; clock, gate, and output signals from two counters are routed to the 100-pin connector
• Digital I/O channels available, with TTL-compatible pull-up configuration (47k to +5V) and optional pull-down resistor positioning
• DAC support where applicable: 16-bit resolution, 10 kS/s operation on compatible boards
• Two independent 50-pin ribbon cable outputs enable parallel connection of multiple external devices or breakout boxes
– Typical Applications
This cable assembly serves as the primary interface between Measurement Computing / IOtech data acquisition boards and field instrumentation, sensor arrays, or external signal conditioning modules. It distributes high-density connector signals across separate ribbon cables for improved modularity and reduced crosstalk in multi-channel measurement systems.
– Compatibility & Integration
The C100HD50-6 is designed for direct integration with the Measurement Computing PCI-DAS6013, PCI-DAS6014, PCI-DAC6700 series, and other devices equipped with a 100-pin high-density I/O connector.
