Connecting the NI 9949

Use an RJ-50 cable to connect the NI 9949 to devices with RJ-50 
receptacles, such as the NI 9237 with RJ-50 and the SCXI-1314T. The 
NI 9949 routes each pin of the RJ-50 receptacle to the corresponding screw 
terminal, where 1–10 represent the pin and terminal numbers and S 
represents the shield of the RJ-50 connector. For example, if you connect 
the NI 9949 to the NI 9237, pin 1 of the NI 9237 RJ-50 receptacle connects 
to terminal 1 of the NI 9949 screw-terminal connector. Refer to Figure 4 
for a diagram of the RJ-50 and screw-terminal connectors on the NI 9949. 
Refer to the device manual for information about device pin assignments.

Note

National Instruments does not recommend using an RJ-45 cable with the NI 9949 

because it can physically damage pins 1 and 10 on the device, and thus permanently 
disable shunt calibration no matter what connector you use.
