{"product_id":"national-instruments-pci-8330","title":"National Instruments PCI-8330","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe National Instruments PCI-8330 is an MXI-3 Interface Board designed to enhance connectivity within PCI-based systems. This advanced board facilitates the connection of two electrically isolated buses via copper or fiber-optic cables, supporting seamless data rates of up to 1.5 Gbit\/s. With the capability to control PCI devices across as many as 255 buses—contingent upon BIOS support—the PCI-8330 allows users to configure flexible network topologies, including daisy-chain and star configurations, while maintaining bus-to-bus separation of up to 10 meters with copper cables and 200 meters with fiber-optic cables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a PCI-PCI connector, the PCI-8330 presents all connected devices as local within a single PCI framework, negating the need for adjustments to device drivers for interoperability. The MXI-3 scheme actively retimes signals between buses, ensuring adherence to the precise timing and performance standards expected of PCI systems. The board is equipped with a setup program compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems, although users on alternative platforms may bypass this aspect. Additionally, in setups utilizing fiber optics, a series of high-speed photodetectors convert light signals back to digital data, which is then translated to the original 20-bit wide data by a serial-to-parallel converter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCI-8330 boasts peak performance capabilities of 132 Mbytes\/s and sustained performance of 84 Mbytes\/s. Designed for reliability, it features a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,130,000 hours. With dimensions of 4.2 inches by 6.9 inches and a weight of 0.33 pounds, this compact board operates within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C and can be stored between –20 to 70 °C. Humidity tolerance is maintained at 10 to 90% during operation and 5 to 95% for storage conditions. Although National Instruments has announced the PCI-8330 as obsolete, it remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46683824718060,"sku":"PCI-8330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/1112\/6600\/files\/National_Instruments_Group_Photo_-_Final_Compressed_fd92454d-8253-492b-944f-868f65472635.jpg?v=1753243058","url":"https:\/\/www.industrialautomationco.com\/products\/national-instruments-pci-8330","provider":"Industrial Automation Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
