HD IO 50-pin internal connector for card
Hi. I have an Avid HD IO 8x8 (8 analog input, 8 analog output, no digital card). I'd like to add another 8 input channels to it. I am looking at the Avid HD I/O AD Option Analog Input Expansion Card. This way I could have 16x8 in one chassis.
Reading the manual, I need a 50 pin cable. Is this a 50 pin SCSI II cable or AVID proprietary? Anyone know where to get one? Last edited by ZerglingPhilosophy; 09-26-2022 at 04:05 PM. |

Everything you need will be delivered with the expansion card.

Re: HD IO 50-pin internal connector for card
It's a private sale and they said only what's pictured (no ribbon). I have been on with AVID support the last couple days for the connectors. They may have difficulty sourcing it. But I will keep the thread updated. It got me really wondering if it's simply this common SCSI II DB-50 pin connector...

Yes it is, but as far as I remember the cable should already be there in the interface box. Open it before sourcing a generic cable of wrong length (may be difficult to fit in)

Re: HD IO 50-pin internal connector for card
All I ever got in the old days was the HD Native PCIe box. I don't think I ever got the HD IO box because the dealer opened it up for me to yank out one of the 8x8x8 expansion cards to save a college kid a couple of bucks (they dealed me an 8x8 at my request). This must be why it seems difficult to get a replacement: because most everybody else already got one!! I also see why ribbon cables exist: they are darn convenient to slip into tight enclosures. I only see 3 and 6 feet DB50 cables online. It looks like the HD IO is a 3 inch.

Just open your interface. You have a screwdriver, don't you? And no, not the drink, but the hardware. You would see the ribbon cable is there waiting for an expansion card. Otherwise I have memory problems at age of 44 years.

Hey I can open the HD IO but don't ask me to fix the garage door opener. There ain't nuthin' in thur. Me thinks the studio took the ribbons when they took out their expansion card. Lots of cat fur in the chassis though.

Just check if it is there or not. If someone removes expansion card the ribbon is most likely left alone as it takes much more effort to remove it from motherboard.

It's not, sorry I was getting silly and my post wasn't clear. I popped open the chassis and see 2 used ribbons, 2 open ribbon slots, and 0 available ribbons

Alrighty. So take one of the existing cables as a reference, try to source SCSI cable of good length. Too much and you have hard time putting it back together.
