The NI SHB4X-8BNC is a 50 Ω coaxial cable assembly that bridges InfiniBand acquisition interfaces to multichannel BNC transducer inputs. It terminates in a 16-pin male K-Type InfiniBand connector on the module side and eight 1-pin male BNC connectors on the sensor side, enabling direct connection of accelerometers, microphones, and other transducers to NI data acquisition platforms. The 0.2 m cable length minimizes signal degradation while maintaining superior signal integrity through high-quality shielding and insulation construction.
