NI TB-2630B Installation Instructions
Accessories
When a double row ribbon cable connector is used, the pitch of the ribbon cable is half the pitch of the
connector. For example, a 0.050 in. pitch ribbon cable uses a 0.100 in. pitch connector. Ribbon cable
connector assemblies are typically defined by the pitch of the connector. Refer to Figure 4 for a diagram
of a 0.100 in. pitch cable assembly with a 0.100 in. pitch connector and a 0.050 in. pitch ribbon cable.

The NI TB-2630B includes eight 2 × 9 0.100 in. pitch ribbon cable connectors. Refer to Table 4 for
additional connectors that you can use with the NI TB-2630B.
You can use any 0.050 in. pitch ribbon cable with the NI TB-2630B. To use a ribbon cable with more
than 18 conductors, remove the unwanted conductors before using. Refer to Table 4 for more
information about the cable connector assembly.
