National Instruments 782317-02 MXI-Express Cable with Communication Levels up to Gen 3 x8
The National Instruments 782317-02 is a 2-meter copper MXI-Express interconnect cable engineered for high-bandwidth remote chassis control and multi-chassis expansion within PXI Express test systems. Capable of supporting PCI Express communication levels up to Gen 3 x8, the cable is factory configured for Gen 2 x8 operation, establishing a direct, high-speed hardware link between a host computer interface card and a PXI Express expansion chassis. Constructed with high-purity copper conductors arranged in individually shielded differential pair bundles, the assembly delivers exceptional immunity against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk while preserving signal integrity across the full 2-meter span.
Mechanical connectivity is anchored by proprietary 68-pin MXI-Express connectors at both ends, featuring integrated mechanical locking hardware that securely fastens the backshells to host and chassis ports. This robust latching mechanism prevents intermittent signals or accidental disconnections caused by industrial vibration and routine cable handling. Built for industrial environments, the passive cable operates across a standard ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C (-20 °C to 60 °C storage), providing a low-power, direct-connect copper solution for automated test benches and measurement racks.
Proper installation requires powering down all connected hardware prior to mating, aligning the keyed connector shells carefully to avoid pin deformation, and fully engaging the locking hardware before restoring system power. To maintain transmission performance over time, routing must observe minimum bend radius limits, and exposed connector terminals should be handled with standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. While designated as legacy hardware within National Instruments' active product portfolio, the 782317-02 remains a fully functional, high-reliability copper interconnect for maintaining and servicing legacy PXI Express data acquisition systems.
