Custom Cables
Cable Specification
© National Instruments Corporation
This appendix lists specifications for building custom cables for your 1408
device.
National Instruments offers cables and accessories for you to connect to
video sources, trigger sources, or synchronization sources. However, if you
want to develop your own cables, the following guidelines must be met:
For the video inputs, use a 75 Ω shielded coaxial cable.
•
•
For the digital triggers and synchronization signals, twisted pairs
for each signal yield the best result.
•
For the 25-pin DSUB connector, use AMP part number 747912-2
or equivalent.
For information on connector pin assignments, see the
