All NI-XNET hardware products protect your equipment from being damaged by high-voltage spikes on the target bus. Bus ports on PCI, PXI, and NI-XNET products support channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus isolation, and are galvanically isolated up to 60 VDC; the isolation is intended to prevent ground loops.

Bus ports on C Series NI-XNET products support channel-to-bus isolation, and are galvanically isolated up to 500 Vrms (5 s max withstand).

Bus ports on NI-XNET Transceiver Cable products support channel-to-bus isolation, and are galvanically isolated up to 1000 Vrms (5 s max withstand).

Note For Multiprotocol Interface products such as PXIe-8510, PCIe-8510, and NI-9860, isolation is provided through the NI-XNET Transceiver Cable.
