Does anyone have a LVDS Cable Breakout board?

[DeOdderKeith]

I am getting ready to connect the Device Under Test to a PXI-6561. There is an "Infiniband" cable, with with the 12X connector on both ends. I am guessing that I need a breakout board to get the individual signals to my Device.

I am hopeing that someone has some kind of "breakout" board where I can wire the pins to each other. I understand that there are requirements for signal integrity etc.

Yup, AnalogKid has it right. That is an LVDS Breakout Board for the 6561/6562 and here is the User Manual.

Let us know if that isn't what you're looking for.

Is there a version with screw terminals instead of SMA connections?

I think this is what you are looking for:

That looks good for a different board I need, but the SHB12X-B12X looks like it has 73 pins counting all of the shields and reserved pins, is there a board for this, or will the connector fit this board? (First time doing a PXI chassis, still getting my head around it all)

Could you show me where the 73 pin count is for the SHB12X-B12X? I can't find it on the shop page.

You will probably have to go through tech support to get it. Some of the documents they sent me on this cable require a Non Disclosure Agreement. There is one buried in the forums, but it is not a National Instruments document.

Hi Salazar.Slytherin,

You can typically find the pinout info you need for the specific card you will be using in the Product Manual. This Manual has the pinouts for most of NI's HSDIO products which you can then map to the SHB12X-B12X cable pinout. I believe this is what you are looking for?

My fault, I thought you were looking for the "guts" of the cable like I had been looking for. Colors of the twisted pairs and all that jazz.
