Custom Cabling
National Instruments offers cables and accessories for you to prototype
your application or to use if you frequently change board interconnections.
If you want to develop your own cable, note that the 6527 device uses a
100-pin female cable header. AMP Corporation part number 749621-9 may
be used for the mating connector. Backshells available for use on a cable
with this connector include the following:
• AMP 749081-1
• AMP 749854-1
These backshells have a different thread width than the I/O connector on
the 6527. A jackscrew to adapt the different thread widths is available from
National Instruments; the part number is 745444-01.
