NI PXIE-8364 is an NI PXI Bus Extension Module for building multichassis PXI systems over an MXI-Express x1 copper interface. NI describes this exact model as a “PXIe, x1, MXI-Express Daisy-Chain Copper Interface, PXI Bus Extension Module,” making it distinct from a host PC interface card or a cable-only accessory. NI also states that the module can be used to daisy chain up to eight PXI chassis to the same system computer. Source: https://www.ni.com/en/shop/hardware/bus-extension/model-pxie-8364
The PXIe-8364 uses a PXI Express bus connector and supports MXI-Express x1 communication with a theoretical bandwidth of 250 MB/s. According to NI, the supported cable type is copper, and the specifications page lists a maximum cable length of 7 m. The module occupies one peripheral slot in a PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis.

For mechanical and installation planning, NI specifies dimensions of 10.0 × 16.0 cm, typical weight of 0.15 kg, and compatibility with the PXI Express Hardware Specification, Revision 1.0, as well as the PICMG CompactPCI Express EXP.0 R1.0 Specification. Typical and maximum current draw is listed for the +3.3 V, +12 V, and +5 Vaux rails, supporting system-level power budgeting in compatible chassis.
