The National Instruments SC-2050 Cable Adapter (Part Number: 776335-90) is a versatile solution designed to facilitate the integration of various data acquisition devices with different signal conditioning accessories. This adapter is engineered to enhance the performance of your data acquisition systems by minimizing signal distortion and loss, making it an excellent choice for applications demanding precise measurements. The SC-2050 can be mounted on any surface using its metallic standoffs, and a mounting rack is available for separate purchase.

Compatible with a range of data acquisition and signal conditioning devices, the SC-2050 plays a critical role in preserving signal strength and quality. It features E Series connectors that convert E connector signals into standard pin connections. Notable compatible devices include the DAQPad-MIO-16XE-50, PCI-6031E, and AT-MIO-16E-10, which can be connected using a 100-pin R1005050 cable.

To utilize the SC-2050, users will need the adapter itself, the corresponding user manual, a DAQ device, a computer, and a compatible cable, such as the SH6850 or PSHR68-50. The physical dimensions of the SC-2050 are 5.2 x 4.9 x 1.9 inches, with an operational temperature range of 0° to 70° C and a storage range of -55° to 150° C. It also operates effectively in a non-condensing relative humidity environment of 5% to 90%. Although National Instruments has announced the SC-2050 as obsolete, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves.
