The NI S8 Non-Isolated Serial Cable connects National Instruments CompactRIO and CompactDAQ controllers to serial devices via a 10-position modular plug (RJ50) to DB-9 interface. This 1-meter cable supports both RS232 and RS485 protocols, enabling reliable communication in industrial and automation environments. The thin-profile design accommodates space-constrained installations while the DB-9 connector’s locking screws ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections.
