Wiring Cable

PCL-10168 The PCL-10168 shielded cable is specially designed
for PCI-1711/1731 cards to provide high resistance to noise. To
achieve a better signal quality, the signal wires are twisted in such a
way as to form a “twisted-pair cable”, reducing crosstalk and noise
from other signal sources. Furthermore, its analog and digital lines
are separately sheathed and shielded to neutralize EMI/EMC
problems.
Wiring Boards
q
ADAM-3968 The ADAM-3968 is a 68-pin SCSI wiring terminal
module for DIN-rail mounting. This terminal module can be readily
connected to the Advantech PC-Lab cards and allow easy yet
reliable access to individual pin connections for the PCI-1711/1731
card.
