National Instruments 785550-03 MXI-Express Cable

The part number 785550-03 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the Gen 3 x8 MXI-Express Cable. This cable is designed for data communication between a host interface and a PXI or PXI-Express chassis. The cable supports the MXI-Express Gen 3 x8 communication standard, which allows this cable to enable high-speed communication and data transfer rates between the PXI modules and its compatible PXI chassis. This module is great for high speed data acquisition purposes. 

The 785550-03 cable is constructed using copper of the highest quality which not only helps with faster data transmission but also helps increase the reliability of the communication. This cable features a 72-pin male MXI-Express x8 connection, which allows it to easily integrate itself with other National Instruments PXI and PXI-Express products making it a great choice for data communication at high speeds. Its 3 meter length provides flexibility in system configurations, allowing for efficient and organized setups in complex environments. Despite its robust build, the cable does not have a protective coating, emphasizing its need for careful handling in applications with extreme environmental conditions. 

The 785550-03 MXI-Express cable is particularly suited for multi-chassis systems which supports efficient data communication and ensures high-speed data throughput. These properties make this express cable a great choice for complex testing and measurement systems that require high bandwidth and reliable connections. With the inclusion of a case with the cable facilitates secure storage and transport, protecting the cable from potential damage when not in use.

To attach the 785550-03with its compatible port it is always recommended to refer to the instruction manual to avoid causing damage to both the cable and the module it is being connected to. Users are recommended to avoid using this cable in an environment with toxic conditions as it may affect the insulation of the cable and in turn, cause corrosion to the copper cabling. It is also not recommended to bend the wire at smaller radiuses as it may cause it to break from inside affecting the communication speed and the quality of data being transferred.
