The NI 182802A-004 is a 4-meter MXI-2 Type M2 cable engineered to interconnect VXI and VME systems with PCI modules hosted by standard PCs. This system bus cable delivers synchronous MXI block data transfers at up to 33 MB/s between two MXI-2 devices, providing high-speed connectivity for advanced test and measurement architectures.
– Technical Specifications
• Bus Protocol: MXIbus (MXI-2)
• Cable Length: 4 meters
• Maximum Throughput: 33 MB/s
• Connector Type 1: Straight-Point Connector
• Connector Type 2: Right-Angle Daisy-Chain Connector
– Key Features
The cable extends VXI triggers, VXI interrupts, CLK10, and utility bus signals (SYSFAIL*, SYSRESET*, ACFAIL*) to multiple mainframes and the local CPU through a single connection. The right-angle daisy-chain connector enables cascade configurations of multiple MXI-2 systems without requiring external adapters.
Straight-point connectors support direct connection to PCI-MXI-2 interfaces. Right-angle connectors pair with MC connector extenders to optimize physical layout in space-constrained installations.
– Compatibility & Integration
The cable connects to VXI-MXI-2 and VME-MXI-2 interfaces exclusively. It is not compatible with standard data acquisition devices or boards. Daisy-chain connectors are required when multiple MXI-2 devices operate in the same test system.
Alternative lengths include 1 m, 2 m, 6 m, 8 m, and 20 m configurations to accommodate various system geometries and spacing requirements.
