INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NI SHC68-C68-D5 Cable
This guide describes how to connect and use the National Instruments SHC68-C68-D5 cable, which has
a maximum voltage rating of 30 VDC CAT I. Use this cable to connect the NI PXI/PXIe-2515 (NI 2515)
switch module to a supported NI high-speed DIO device. Refer to the NI Switches Help for a list of
supported NI high-speed DIO devices.
Caution Use only the NI SHC68-C68-D5 cable to connect the supported NI high-speed DIO device
to the NI 2515. The cable translates the pinout of the supported NI high-speed DIO device to the
HSDIO connector on the NI 2515 so that the pinout of the DUT connector on the NI 2515 matches
that of the supported NI high-speed DIO device.

What You Need to Get Started
To use the cable, you need the following items:
❑NI SHC68-C68-D5 cable
❑NI 2515 switch module and documentation
Getting Started with the NI SHC68-C68-D5 Cable
Complete the following steps to connect the cable to the switch module and your application. Refer to
Figures 1 and 2 for illustrations of the cable, and refer to Figure 3 for an illustration of the connector.
1. Connect the cable connector labeled CONNECTS TO NI 2515 to the HSDIO connector on the
NI 2515 module as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Connecting the Cable to the NI 2515
Note NI recommends placing your supported NI high-speed DIO device in the chassis slot
immediately to the left of the NI 2515. Use caution when inserting or removing a device immediately
to the left of the NI 2515 when the NI SHC68-C68-D5 cable is connected to the NI 2515, as the cable
connector may overlap slightly into the space of that slot.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable.

4. Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable.
5. If you have not already done so, connect the NI 2515 to the rest of your system. Refer to the
NI Switches Help for more information about connecting the NI 2515 to your system.
Cable Configuration
Connectors
The cable connects two 68-position male VHDCI connectors. The connector labeled CONNECTS TO
NI 2515 provides connection to the switch module. The second connector provides connection to a
supported NI high-speed DIO device. Figure 3 shows the pinout for the connectors.
Use the pinout and the pin assignments listed in Table 1 to determine how to connect signals to your
application using the NI SHC68-C68-D5 cable.
