Description
The TRC-8542 is a high-quality Transceiver Cable designed and manufactured by National Instruments. It is specifically designed for CAN HS/FD (High-Speed/Flexible Data-Rate) applications, ensuring reliable and efficient communication in demanding environments. This cable is equipped with an NXP TJA1043T integrated transceiver, which supports a maximum baud rate of up to 5 Mbps, making it ideal for high-speed data transmission.
The TRC-8542 is built to withstand harsh conditions, with input voltage limits for CAN_H and CAN_L ranging from -27 to +40 VDC, and an output voltage limit for CAN HIGH and CAN LOW of 5 VDC. This ensures the cable’s resilience and longevity in various operating conditions. Moreover, it requires no external power, as it utilizes an internal power source, and has a low power consumption in active mode, drawing only 50 mW.
Compatibility is a key feature of the TRC-8542, as it can be used with devices such as the PXIe-8510, NI-9860, and CompactDAQ Controller (XNET port), ensuring a wide range of applications can benefit from its advanced features. Additionally, it is rated for Measurement Category CAT I, indicating its suitability for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
