National Instruments 779500-03 MXI-Express Cable
The National Instruments 779500-03 is a 3-meter shielded copper MXI-Express cable designed for Gen 1 x1 communication. It features an 18-pin male MXI-Express connector on each end and provides a physical PCI Express connection between a host computer and a remote PXI or PXI Express chassis. Its 3-meter length provides additional flexibility when connecting equipment installed in separate racks or at different locations within a test system.
The cable carries PCI Express signals over copper conductors while maintaining a flexible construction that makes it suitable for routing through cable trays, instrumentation racks, and other confined spaces. The shielded design also helps reduce susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, which can be important in environments containing multiple electrical and instrumentation systems.
The 779500-03 is commonly used to connect an MXI-Express interface in a host computer to a remote chassis, allowing PXI or PXI Express hardware to be located away from the controlling PC. This arrangement can simplify system layouts where direct access to the host computer or chassis is limited. Typical applications include automated test equipment, semiconductor testing, avionics and defense test systems, and other modular measurement platforms.
Operating at the Gen 1 x1 communication level, the 779500-03 is intended for systems where the available bandwidth is appropriate for the application. It can also be used as part of a larger MXI-Express system when multiple PXI/PXI Express chassis need to be connected. The 3-meter cable provides more installation flexibility than shorter versions while remaining practical for rack-mounted and benchtop configurations.
With its male-to-male 18-pin connectors, thumbscrew fastening, shielded copper construction, and 3-meter length, the National Instruments 779500-03 provides a straightforward connection between MXI-Express interfaces and remote PXI-based instrumentation.
