Cable Configurations

The LFH200 cable is available in three configurations:
• SH200LFH-4xDB50F-C
• SH200LFH-4xDB50F-S
• SH200LFH-BARE WIRE
The following sections describe each of the LFH200 cable configurations.

SH200LFH-4xDB50F-C Cable

The SH200LFH-4xDB50F-C cable is recommended for connecting the PXI-2569/2570/2571 or
SCXI-1169 to your system. One end of the cable terminates with an LFH200 connector which
connects to the switch module. The other end of the cable terminates with four 50-pin female
D-SUB connectors.
When using the SH200LFH-4xDB50F-C cable with the PXI-2569 or SCXI-1169, each Channel
and its corresponding Common form a twisted pair. For example, CH0 is paired with COM0,
and CH1 is paired with COM1. Figure 5 illustrates how this pairing relates to the pins on the
PXI-2569 or SCXI-1169.

When using the SH200LFH-4xDB50F-C cable with the PXI-2570, each Channel and its
corresponding NO (Normally Open) connection form a twisted pair. The NC (Normally Closed)
connection is twisted with NO CONNECT wires. For example, COM0 is twisted with NO0, and
NC0 is twisted with a NO CONNECT wire. Figure 6 illustrates how this pairing relates to the
pins on the PXI-2570.
