INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NI SHC68-C68-D5 Cable

This guide describes how to connect and use the National Instruments SHC68-C68-D5 cable, which has 
a maximum voltage rating of 30 VDC CAT I. Use this cable to connect the NI PXI/PXIe-2515 (NI 2515) 
switch module to a supported NI high-speed DIO device. Refer to the 

NI Switches Help

 for a list of 

supported NI high-speed DIO devices.

Caution

Use only the NI SHC68-C68-D5 cable to connect the supported NI high-speed DIO device 

to the NI 2515. The cable translates the pinout of the supported NI high-speed DIO device to the 

HSDIO

 connector on the NI 2515 so that the pinout of the 

DUT

 connector on the NI 2515 matches 

that of the supported NI high-speed DIO device.
