National Instruments 780244-01 PXI Ethernet Interface Module 

The part number 780244-01 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PXIe-8234  PXI Ethernet Interface Module. This is a Gigabit interface device designed for PXI Express or CompactPCI Express systems. The part features two 10P10C modular jack connectors, each supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) over standard Category 5 cables allowing for high-speed data transfer rates, and efficient communication between the PXIe system and networked devices. The device is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet networks.

This device is designed to fit into a single peripheral slot that supports an x4 PCIe connection, either in a PXIe or cPCIe slot or a PXIe hybrid slot. Its compact dimensions of 10.0 cm × 16.0 cm (3.9 in. × 6.3 in.) make it suitable for applications that have limited space. The 780244-01 is lightweight, weighing only 158 g (5.5 oz), making it portable and easy to install and handle. 

It requires operating power requirements of 0.375 Amperes at 3.3 Volts, 0.36 Amperes at 5 Volts, or 1.19 Amperes at 1.8 Volts, resulting in a maximum power consumption of 5.2 Watts. This device is designed for indoor use only and operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius. It supports an operating relative humidity range of 10% to 90%, noncondensing, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. The 780244-01 is rated for Pollution Degree 2 environments and can operate at altitudes up to 2000 meters. For storage, the device can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity range of 5% to 95%, noncondensing.

This interface module meets several safety standards, including IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1, UL 60950-1, and CSA 60950-1 ensuring that the device is safe to operate in a variety of settings. The device also complies with various electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, such as EN 61326, EN 55011, and FCC Part 15 Class A, ensuring minimal electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments. Once installed, the device is secured with bracket-retaining screws, and the Ethernet cables are connected. The 780244-01 is then ready to provide high-speed network connectivity to the PXIe system.
