It is important to work through this guide sequentially to identify and then pair up your device with compatible cables and accessories. To do this, complete the following steps:
Begin by using the following tables to locate your device or module. Once found, note your connector type, pin count, and any other notes for reference, and then move to the Cable and Accessory Compatibility Tables.
Important Note: "Group" used in this context is solely to categorize devices together that use the same cables and accessories. It does not necessarily indicate similar functionality, specifications, or other commonalities between the devices.

Find the compatibility table that matches the pin count and connector type of your device. If you have questions on terminology, refer to the Glossary below.
Note: Most devices either require a Front Mounted Terminal Block or a Cable and Remote Terminal Block combination.
Use this table to identify compatible RF Switches with MCX connection cables and accessories.
Use this table to identify compatible RF Switches with SMA connection cables and accessories.
Use this table to identify compatible RF Switches with SMB connection cables and accessories.
When purchasing a NI RF Matrix, RF Multiplexer (or mux), RF Relay or Transfer Switch device or module, for ease of use, the cables and accessories are listed on the product selection page. To begin browsing NI Switches devices and modules, visit ni.com/switches.
You may also purchase your cables and accessories separately.
