National Instruments 781042-100 MXI-Express Cable
The National Instruments 781042-100 is a 10-meter, fiber-optic MXI-Express cable engineered for high-bandwidth remote control and multichassis expansion in automated test and data acquisition systems. Featuring 18-pin male MXI-Express x1 connectors on both ends, the cable links a host PC or desktop interface card directly to a PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis. Operating at MXI-Express Gen 1 x1 communication levels, it delivers throughput up to 1 GB/s while maintaining support for protocol standards up to Gen 3 x8 across compatible interface hardware.
Constructed with high-grade fiber-optic cabling and robust physical shielding, the 781042-100 ensures complete immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical ground loops over extended 10-meter cable runs. The assembly features molded strain-relief boots and heavy-duty connector housings to protect internal conductors from mechanical stress during repeated mating cycles and installation through cable tracks.
Designed for long-term reliability in industrial environments, the cable provides seamless host-to-chassis communication for high-channel-count measurements, real-time HIL testing, and multi-chassis synchronization. System installation requires powering down connected hardware prior to insertion, while maintaining proper minimum bend radius guidelines during cable routing ensures optimal optical signal integrity and long-term field performance.
