National Instruments MXI-2 Type M4 Cable
The MXI-2 Type M4 (Part Number: 777166-01) cable by National Instruments is a specialized cable designed for extending VMEbus architecture outside a VMEbus mainframe via MXI-2, the second-generation MXIbus. On one end, it has a straight-point connector, and on the other, a reverse right-angle daisy-chain connector. The cable offers versatility in system configuration with a length of 1 meter.
With its built-in MXI-2 termination hardware, this cable can sense if the MXIbus signals need to be terminated at either end of the cable. On the MXIbus, the termination is deactivated when the VME-MXI-2 is positioned as a middle device.
In systems with many MXI devices, the MXI-2 Type M4 cable is essential for facilitating the connecting of multiple mainframes. It permits smooth communication between MXIbus instruments, MXMEbus mainframes, and MXIbus-capable personal computers.
It functions in the temperature range of 0° to 55° Celsius and may be kept in the range of -40° to 85° Celsius. With FCC Class A certification, the cable guarantees EMI compliance. Its electrical rating is up to 3.2 A at +5 VDC, with an average use of 2.2 A. The connecting of several MXI devices is made possible via the MXI-2 Type M4 cable, which is essential to expanding the VMEbus architecture outside of the mainframe. Easy installation and dependable signal transfer are guaranteed by its termination circuitry and connections.
It provides all the connectors required for multi-mainframe installations, integrating effortlessly into MXIbus systems. Its compact design, along with the option for a right-angle connector, helps save space in industrial setups where real space is a concern. It may be connected to any MXI-2 cable connection and is compatible with both the NI VXI-MXI-2 and VME-MXI-2 interfaces. If a right-angle connector is needed for an installation, the interface board and the right-angle connector can be connected via an MC connector extension.
