Description
The TRC-8542, manufactured by National Instruments, is a CAN HS/FD Transceiver Cable designed for high-speed data transmission. This transceiver cable is identified by part numbers 142689-01L, 154066-02, 783699-02, and 783699-03. It incorporates an NXP TJA1043T integrated transceiver, ensuring reliable and efficient communication.
Capable of supporting a maximum baud rate of up to 5 Mbps, the TRC-8542 is designed for robust performance in various applications. It operates within input voltage limits for CAN_H and CAN_L of -27 to +40 VDC, while maintaining an output voltage limit for CAN HIGH and CAN LOW at 5 VDC. Notably, an external power source is not required for its operation, making it a convenient choice for many setups.
In terms of power consumption, the device is highly efficient, with an active mode power consumption of approximately 50 mW. This makes it an eco-friendly option for users concerned with energy efficiency.
The TRC-8542 is compatible with several National Instruments products, including PXIe-8510, NI-9860, and CompactDAQ Controller (XNET Port). However, it is important to note that it is intended for the measurement of CAT I signals only, ensuring its usage is specialized and targeted towards specific applications.
