Are the SH68-c68-S and SHC68-c68-S cables interchangeable?

Steve82 · ‎05-24-2014

The SH68-C68-S is specified for the UMI-7764 and the SHC68-C68-S is specified for the UMI-7774, but are these cables both compatible with the UMI-7774?

Thanks.

Hello,

Though the cables do appear to be very similar, it is not adviseable to use these cables interchangeably. The main difference is in the internal wiring. The SH68 cable is also utilized for DAQ cards and has wired common grounds, which can create issues with motion cards. The following KnowledgeBase articles can provide more infor and specs.
