National Instruments 779500-01 MXI-Express Cable
The National Instruments 779500-01 is a 1-meter copper MXI-Express cable designed for Gen 1 x1 communication between compatible PXI and PXI Express systems. It features an 18-position MXI-Express male connector on each end, secured with thumbscrews, and uses a round, shielded cable construction for reliable signal transmission. The cable provides the physical connection needed to extend a PCI Express link between a host interface and one or more PXI/PXI Express chassis.
With its 1-meter length, the 779500-01 is well suited for systems where the connected chassis or equipment are located nearby, such as adjacent racks, benchtop setups, or compact test systems. The copper connection provides a direct, low-latency link without requiring an external power supply or active signal conditioning.
The cable can be used to connect multiple PXI/PXI Express chassis, allowing measurement and automation hardware to be controlled from a central system. This configuration is useful for automated test equipment (ATE), data acquisition, and other applications that require multiple chassis or a larger number of instruments than can fit in a single enclosure.
The shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference, while the thumbscrew connectors provide a secure connection suitable for laboratory and industrial environments. National Instruments also offers longer versions of the MXI-Express cable for systems requiring greater separation between chassis, while the 1-meter 779500-01 is particularly suited to compact installations where short cable runs and straightforward cable management are preferred.
