National Instruments TRC-8542 CAN HS/FD Transceiver Cable

SKU CH-FBDZ-PH7X3

Isolated CAN HS/FD transceiver cable connects NI-9860, PXIe-8510, cDAQ-9134 or cDAQ-9135 controllers to a CAN bus with software-selectable termination

  • Connects CAN bus to NI-9860, PXIe-8510, cDAQ-9134 or cDAQ-9135 controllers
  • Isolated cable includes transceiver for CAN HS/FD bus support
  • Software-selectable termination resistors adapt to bus requirements
  • New condition ensures reliable performance from first use
  • Manufacturer part number 783699-02 identifies exact replacement

Flexible CAN HS/FD Connection Cable

The National Instruments TRC-8542 cable links a CAN bus to the NI-9860, PXIe-8510, or the native NI-XNET port on a cDAQ-9134 or cDAQ-9135 controller. It provides the required transceiver for CAN HS/FD communication in a single isolated assembly.

Software-Selectable Termination

The cable includes built-in termination resistors that can be enabled or disabled through software, removing the need for external hardware jumpers. Isolation protects the host controller from bus faults and ground loops.

Direct Plug-In With Compatible NI Hardware

Installation is a simple plug into the supported NI module or controller port; no separate transceiver box is required. Mismatched connectors or unsupported NI hardware will prevent operation.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 783699-02 cable for my NI-9860 or PXIe-8510 module?

Yes, the TRC-8542 cable with part number 783699-02 is designed to connect CAN HS/FD buses to the NI-9860, PXIe-8510, cDAQ-9134 or cDAQ-9135 controllers.

What does the isolated transceiver cable do once installed in a real system?

It provides the physical CAN HS/FD transceiver and software-selectable termination resistors, electrically isolating the bus from the NI-XNET port on your controller.

Which interface standard does the cable use and what does it limit in practice?

The cable plugs into the native NI-XNET port on compatible cDAQ controllers or modules, capping the connection to the CAN HS/FD protocol supported by that port.
