Can MXI-4 cables be daisy chained?

[ReneeT]

I want to connect two 5m MXI-4 cables end to end.  Is that possible and would it degrade signal integrity? 

I have a PXI chassis inside a large system and the MXI cable is routed through the system to the PC. there isn't easy access to where the MXI-4 connects to the chassis.  I need to be able to connect to the chassis with a diffenent PC for onsite calibration.  Would I be able to connect a second MXI-4 cable to the exisiting one?

He ReneeT,

No, I'm sorry. The 2 ends of the MXI cable are not the same. You'll need to just buy a longer cable. What length do you need?

[ReneeT]

Thanks Jeff.  I may be able to get away with the 5m if I unbundle it.  If not, then the 10m will work.  I'll just have to tear it apart and see how much slack I can get now that I know connecting two cables isn't an option.
