The NI SH68-68-S is a 1-meter shielded multifunction cable engineered to connect NI data acquisition devices with 68-pin SCSI-II connectors to compatible accessories and expansion modules. Built for legacy DAQ hardware spanning the USB-62xx, NI 61xx, and NI 60xx/60xxE product families, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission while suppressing electromagnetic interference through its conductive metallic shielding layer. The design accommodates continuous bending cycles in laboratory and industrial environments without performance degradation.
Technical Specifications
