2.4 Cable Connections
Compatible cables for the Aurora analog and digital I/O ports are available directly through Lynx. The
25-pin D-Sub connectors on Aurora conform to industry-standard pin configurations, so that off-the-
shelf cable solutions are available from third party suppliers should custom lengths or connector types
be required.
