Connecting Cables
For the PCMCIA and ExpressCard hardware, two-port PCI and PXI serial
hardware, and all USB and ENET hardware, you can use the standard
DB-9 connector found on most serial cables. To use the DB-9 connector
with the four-port PCI and PXI serial hardware, you need the 10-position
modular jack to DB-9 cable, which is available from National Instruments.
You can also use a DB-25 connector with the four-port serial boards by
ordering the 10-position modular jack to DB-25 converter cable from
National Instruments. The eight-port serial boards include a pig tail cable
adapter, providing eight standard DB-9 connectors. The 16-port boards
include a breakout box, providing 16 standard DB-9 connectors.
Note To achieve the specified isolation voltage for four-port
isolated PCI or PXI serial boards, use only the 10-position modular
jack to DB-9 cable included in your four-port isolated PCI or PXI
serial board kit.
