NI PXIE-8245 is an NI PXI Express Ethernet interface module designed to provide four external copper Ethernet connections from a PXI Express chassis. NI identifies it as a “PXIe, 4-Port, 10/100/1000BASE-T PXI Ethernet Interface Module,” distinguishing it from PXI controllers, switches, or general accessories. The documented interface uses RJ45 front-panel connectors and supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet operation.

For PXI system integration, the module connects through a PXI Express Gen 2 x4 interface. NI specifies compatibility with x4, x8, and x16 PXI Express or PXI Express hybrid slots, making the PXIe-8245 a dedicated Ethernet expansion peripheral for suitable PXIe chassis slots. NI also lists 1 Gbit/s Ethernet bandwidth per port on the official product page.

Official NI information provided for this model indicates one listed part number, 787313-01. The supplied NI product page does not explicitly identify multiple hardware variants for PXIe-8245, so catalog content should treat the family as a single documented SKU unless additional NI evidence is introduced. NI further specifies an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and lists the included items as the module plus Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory documentation.
