So... is the 3720-MTC-3 cable magic? Over 1000 EUR for it.

Hi,

We're looking over the options of buying a DAQ system. So far the best option for our needs seems to be the Keysight DAQ970A with a bunch of cards. But I've also been looking into others, such as the Keithley devices. Some look great, but one thing stood out: https://www.newark.com/keithley/3720-mtc-3/cable-assembly/dp/59T7977?MER=sy-me-pd-mi-acce

Over 1000 EUR for 3 meters of chunkier cable with D-subs on each side? Is it a magic cable? Does it grant wishes? It's basically an interconnect (1 of 2) between a card (which is cheaper than 2 cables) and a terminal box (which is cheaper the cable).

Is there something special about the cable?

Thanks,

David

300 Euros per meter for a 78-core cable? Plus two connectors? That's a bargain!

Is it the same as this?
