Hey,
I am looking at the connector pin out for the NI6528 and the recommended cable SH100-100-F and they do not match up. The connector on the board looks to be grouped by pairs, ie 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and so on. The cable is paired in 2's as well, but the twisted pair's are 1 and 51, 2 and 52, and so on. This seems to indicate that the differential pairs are separated and not together like they should be. How big of a problem is this if the cable is only 1 meter in length? Should I look for/design my own cable, or can this still work, or am I missing something simple and silly?
