Figure 15. Use the M9024A to connect to
multiple instruments from a PXIe chassis. These
instruments are connected to the remote PC via
the x16 Gen 3 PCIe link.Only a single M9024A can
be used in a multi-chassis system.

Using active optical PCIe cables
If longer PCIe cable lengths are required, the M9048B, M9049A, M9022A, M9023A,
and M9024A can be used with optical PCIe cables from Samtec (www.samtec.com).
These cables can also be used with the M9502A and M9505A AXIe chassis (when paired
with the M9048B or M9049A). This provides up to a x8 Gen 3 connection with long
cable lengths and high isolation. Keysight has qualified up to a 100 m cable and custom
lengths are available. These cables draw additional power from the host and system
modules, see the characteristics tables for details. Optical cables are not supported with
the M9048A, M9021A, and M9521A.
