National Instruments 783329-100 MXI-Express Cable with Communication Levels up to Gen 3 x8
The National Instruments 783329-100 is a 100-meter, Generation 2 fiber-optic MXI-Express cabling solution engineered for long-distance remote chassis control and multi-chassis expansion within PXI Express systems. Capable of supporting hardware communication protocols up to Gen 3 x8, the assembly operates at Gen 2 x4 speed over a high-density x8 physical connector interface, extending PCI Express bus signaling across expansive facility footprints where standard copper links suffer signal degradation. Utilizing multi-strand optical fiber bundled inside a heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant outer jacket, the cable completely eliminates ground loops, common-mode voltage differences, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) across long runs between host PCs and target test platforms.
Designed for intuitive setup and reliable mating, the terminal ends feature keyed optical interfaces with high-precision alignment ferrules to ensure stable optical coupling between host and chassis devices. Clearly designated HOST (connecting to an NI PCIe host adapter) and TARGET (connecting to a system controller module in a remote PXI Express chassis) connector labels prevent reverse installation. The optical backshells incorporate integrated strain relief boots to protect delicate glass strands against bending stress and mechanical fatigue during routing through conduit, wire trays, or industrial cable carriers.
Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, the 783329-100 operates reliably across a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C (-20 °C to 70 °C storage) with relative humidity tolerance up to 90% non-condensing. The assembly maintains full compliance with international safety and environmental standards, holding CE, UKCA, and RoHS certifications. To preserve optical link budget and prevent insertion loss, installation procedures require adhering to specified minimum bend radius limits, handling connectors strictly by their protective housings, and keeping optical end-faces capped when disconnected to protect against dust contamination.
