As long as the cable is compliant with USB 2.0 and isn't longer than the USB spec (5m or 16.4 feet), then it should be fine. Those cables appear to be just specialized for mounting, and are all under 16 feet. Now I haven't used the devices so I can't say for certain, but based on what I've read in their spec it looks like it would work on any of the NI USB-DAQ devices.
