SCXI-1340 Cable Assembly
The SCXI-1340 cable assembly connects any MIO board (except the AT-MIO-16D and the
AT-MIO-64F-5) to an SCXI-1100 module. The SCXI-1340 consists of a 50-conductor ribbon
cable that has a mounting bracket at one end and a 50-pin female connector at the other end.
This female connector attaches to the MIO board I/O connector. Attached to the mounting
bracket is a 50-pin female mounting bracket connector that connects to the module rear signal
connector. A male breakout connector is near the mounting bracket on the ribbon cable. You
can use this male breakout connector to extend the signals of the MIO board to an SCXI-1180
feedthrough panel or an SCXI-1181 breadboard module. All 50 pins from the MIO board go
straight to the rear signal connector. You can use a standard 50-pin ribbon cable in lieu of the
SCXI-1340 cable assembly.
The SCXI-1340 has the following advantages over the ribbon cable:
•
The SCXI-1340 produces strain relief so that you cannot accidentally disconnect the cable.
•
The SCXI-1340 includes a mounting bracket that mounts to the chassis so that you can
remove and reinsert the module without explicitly removing the cable from the back of the
chassis. This is especially useful when the SCXI chassis is rack mounted, making rear access
difficult.
