3. Complete one of the following steps and refer to Tables 1 through 10 in the Cable Configurations
section to determine how to connect signals to your application.
• Connect the D-SUB connectors on the cable to your application. For screw terminal access,
you can connect directly to NI TBX-50 terminal blocks.
• Connect the second DIN160 connector on the cable to your application.
• Connect the unterminated wires to your application.

Connectors
The cable connects a 160-pin female DIN connector (DIN160 connector) to three 50-pin female D-SUB
connectors, a second DIN160 connector, or six bundles, legs J0–J5, of unterminated, tinned, and
stripped wires. The DIN160 connector provides connection to the NI PXI-2510. The 50-pin female
D-SUB connectors, second DIN160 connector, and unterminated cables provide connection to your
application. Figures 5 and 6 show the pinouts for the DIN160 connectors and the 50-pin female D-SUB
connectors.

Cable Configurations
The DIN160 cable is available in three configurations:
• SH160DIN-3XDB50F
• SH160DIN-160DIN
• SH160DIN-BARE WIRE
The following sections describe each of the configurations.
SH160DIN-3XDB50F Cable
The SH160DIN-3XDB50F cable is recommended for connecting the NI PXI-2510 to your system.
One end of the cable terminates with a DIN160 connector. The other end of the cable terminates with
three 50-pin female D-SUB connectors.

SH160DIN-BARE WIRE Cable
The SH160DIN-BARE WIRE cable is recommended for connecting the switch module to your system
if termination other than a 50-pin female D-SUB or a DIN160 connector is required. One end of the
cable terminates with a DIN160 connector. The other end of the cable has six bundles of unterminated,
tinned, and stripped wires.
Use the pinouts and the pin assignments listed in Tables 5 through 10 to determine how to connect
signals to your application.
Note The first color listed in the Bare Wire Color column of Tables 5 through 10 is the primary
color of the wire. The second color listed is the stripe color.
