SH6850 Shielded Cable
This guide describes how to use the SH6850 shielded cable to connect either a 68-pin MIO
Series board to a 50-pin MIO accessory or a 50-pin MIO Series board to a 68-pin MIO
accessory. In this guide, the AT-MIO-16, AT-MIO-16F-5, AT-MIO-16X, NB-MIO-16, and
NB-MIO-16X are referred to collectively as the MIO-16 Series boards. The newer MIO-16E
Series boards include the AT-MIO-16E-2 and the AT-MIO-16XE-50.
Introduction
The SH6850 shielded cable is a 1, 2, 5, or 10 m round cable, which has a 68-pin female
connector at one end and a 50-pin female connector at the other end. The SH6850 shielded cable
kit also includes a 3 in. ribbon cable and replacement brackets for the 50-pin AT-MIO Series
(AT-MIO-16, AT-MIO-16F-5, and AT-MIO-16X) and NB-MIO Series (NB-MIO-16 and
NB-MIO-16X) boards. The SH6850 shielded cable brings the pinout of your MIO Series board
I/O connector, which has either 68 or 50 pins, to the MIO accessory I/O connector, which has
either 50 or 68 pins.
