National Instruments 783329-10 MXI-Express Cable with Communication Levels up to Gen 3 x8
The National Instruments 783329-10 is a 10-meter fiber-optic MXI-Express cable engineered for high-bandwidth PCI Express communication between host PCs/controllers and expansion chassis. Capable of supporting protocol speeds up to Gen 3 x8 (factory configured for MXI-Express Gen 2 x8 / Gen 3 x8 compatibility), the cable extends the PCI Express bus across a 10-meter span without signal degradation or latency penalties. By transmitting differential signals over optical fibers, the assembly isolates high-speed data lines from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ground loops across distributed automated test setups, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, and industrial data acquisition platforms.
Mechanical connectivity is anchored by high-density 68-pin male PCIeO (PCI Express Optical) connectors at both the front-end (chassis interface) and back-end (controller interface). The symmetrical connector layout features precision-aligned terminals, gold-plated contacts, and heavy-duty connector backshells with integrated locking mechanisms to ensure positive mechanical engagement and prevent accidental disconnections in high-vibration production environments. Built-in strain relief boots at each connector end protect the internal fiber strands from bending fatigue and mechanical stress during installation and routing through equipment racks or cable trays.
Engineered for industrial durability, the 783329-10 features a flexible, abrasion-resistant outer jacket rated for Pollution Degree 2 environments. It operates reliably across a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C (-40 °C to 70 °C storage). Proper installation requires adhering to specified minimum bend radius guidelines to protect internal optical fibers, verifying that host and target hardware match communication protocols, and keeping protective optical caps installed on the 68-pin connectors when not in use to avoid surface contamination.
