The NI SH96-96 Cable (183228-01) is a 1-meter shielded cable assembly that interconnects National Instruments test and data acquisition devices via dual 96-pin DIN connectors. The cable’s grounded outer shield minimizes electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity across industrial measurement systems. Qualified for operation from 0 °C to 55 °C and non-operating storage to –40 °C, it withstands 30 g peak shock and random vibration to 0.3 grms, meeting MIL-PRF-28800F environmental standards.
