Distribution Cache Shipping Info and Options

Shipping Carriers: Here at Distribution Cache we ship using UPS, FedEx, DHL, or TNT. In most cases we get very competitive rates based on our volume and will be happy quote shipping cost to your location upon request. We also know that many customers would prefer to ship collect on their own account numbers and welcome this option.

Shipping Blind: We recognize that many of our customers intend to re-sell the product to their end user. We respect our customer’s relationships with their clients and offer blind shipping as an option to ensure that the package arrives in the most clandestine way possible.

Shipping Process: We take pride in the way we package your order and spare no cost in making sure that it arrives safely at your facility. In the case of new parts, we are always sure to package the factory box inside another larger box for safe transit. For reconditioned parts we often use Distribution Cache customized packaging that is specially made to protect the products from the bumps and falls present during shipment.

Shipping Options:

Next Day Air Early AM - This service is the fastest overnight delivery option available. For most locations the package will be guaranteed by 8:30AM.

Next Day Air – This service guarantees delivery by 10:30AM and is the most frequently used option for overnight shipments.

Next Day Air Saver – This cost saving overnight alternative guarantees delivery by 3PM the next day.

2nd Day Air – For domestic shipments that would take 3-5 days if shipped via Ground, sometimes having the order in 2 days is a great way to go

Ground – Ground is the most inexpensive shipping option provided. Please ask if we are doing a “free domestic ground” shipping promotion on your order. We often provide free ground shipping on larger orders.

Emergency Courier – At times we can help work with a courier service to get the part to your facility during downtimes scenarios. We prefer that the customer sets up the courier but we can be there to make sure the product is handed off to the driver. Please give us a call to see if this is an option on your order.

Please Note: Products listed as “ships today” can ship same-day if an order is placed before 4PM. For larger drives and motors we ask that notification for same-day shipments be provided by 2PM at the latest. For any products listed as “ships in 3-5 days”, please give us a call to see if this can be expedited.

Question:

What is the purpose of the National Instruments PXIe-1486 FlexRIO FPD-Link Interface Module?

Answer:

The National Instruments PXIe-1486 FlexRIO FPD-Link Interface Module is designed for high-throughput vision and imaging applications. It integrates the FPD-Link interface with a Xilinx FPGA and is ideal for hardware-in-the-loop, lab-based playback or in-vehicle data logging, especially for testing advanced driver assistance systems and video sensors for autonomous driving.

Question:

What type of applications is the PXIe-1486 best suited for?

Answer:

The PXIe-1486 is specifically tailored for the automotive industry and is best suited for applications that require a high-speed digital interface for testing advanced driver assistance systems and video sensors for autonomous driving.

Question:

What are the connectivity features of the PXIe-1486?

Answer:

The PXIe-1486 module uses GPIO, CSI-2, and I2C for communication. It offers multiple variations, such as 8 input deserializers and 8 output serializers, each with 4-lane CSI-2 interfaces at 800 Mbps per lane.

Question:

What type of connectors does the PXIe-1486 use and what are their specifications?

Answer:

The PXIe-1486 uses coaxial FAKRA Male Code Z connectors for serial input and output channels. The maximum data rate for these channels is 4.16 Gb/s with reference clock speeds varying from 23 MHz to 104 MHz. The serial input channels have a max current of 400 mA/channel, while the serial output channels can support up to 800 mA/channel.

Question:

What are the power and chassis requirements for the PXIe-1486?

Answer:

The PXIe-1486 requires a chassis with a slot cooling capacity greater than or equal to 58 W to accommodate the power needs of the module.
